Hi I raised a ticket on Friday about the connection dropping a few times a day. I've heard nothing back since Friday and wondered how long I have to wait for the 'tests' to be done. Looking at a few of the forum topics this seems to be a bit of a problem. Its becoming very frustrating, trying to do work etc or as in my daughters case, a video interview, and being cut off because of the connection dropping. Could anyone please tell me how long before I get a reply to my ticket. Many thanks.

Hi @EmilyD, we have tried all the troubleshooting checks and had it connected into the test socket, but we are still getting the drops. We were connected to Plusnet on the 16th March and the first month we had no problems at all, the connection dropping only started on the 16th April..
Kind regards

Thank you for confirming that you have completed the troubleshooting checks and that these haven't resolved the problem. The next step would be for us to arrange an engineer visit to carry out further testing on your line.
Please can you reply to the fault ticket here: https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=172915343 or the text message that I've sent with your availability for an engineer and I'll get this booked in for you.

Thank you for confirming that. I've booked in the appointment for your earliest available requested date.
Please don't hesitate to get back in touch if you need to re-arrange the appointment or if you continue to experience any problems with your connection following the engineer visit.

So the engineer has been, confirmed the internal wiring was absolutely fine but there was a fault on the line 527m away from the house, which was near the box. He changed the jumpers in the box and confirmed everything was ok. However, we are still getting drops out. What is the next step to try and solve this problem? Thank you

Thanks for coming back to us.
I'm sorry to hear that this is ongoing. I've raised this with our suppliers and updated your fault ticket asking for your availability as this will need to go to a second engineer at this stage.
If you could respond to the ticket and let me know when that's done, I'll get the engineer booked in for you ASAP.
Best Wishes,
Dave

So, the engineer came last week, changed the SNR from 3dB to 6dB, checked everything, done various tests and was happy. A week and one day later, as well as getting a slower speed than what we had, the drop outs are becoming more frequent again. Could this problem please be sorted. It is getting frustrating, as we are paying for a service that we are not receiving. I have updated the ticket with this information.

So, the engineer did some work on our line, not sure if we will get any more drop outs as its too early to say, however, we are now only getting speeds between 10.1Mbps and 13Mbps. This is not acceptable and I am now starting to look for a different provider. This is not the service I signed up for or will agree to pay for, for much longer! Over a month now I have been having issues, one of those issues cost my daughter a job interview.
I have updated the ticket again.

Hi there.
I'm sorry to see you're still experiencing connection problems.
From what I can see it looks like our suppliers would like to arrange another engineer visit.
I'll update your fault ticket with this info shortly.
