Intermittent downtime

Hi, my internet connections seems to momentarily drop for a few seconds.  This happens 5 or 6 times a day.  Is there a fault on my line?

As this is the case, we'll need to do some troubleshooting to start ruling this out. I'd recommend starting with basic checks here. If these checks don't resolve the problem, the next step would be to connect your router directly to the test socket, which is under the faceplate of your master socket and seeing if the connection stabilises. This rules out internal wiring, face plates and extension sockets as being the cause. Please see the following guide for instructions on how to connect to the test socket. https://community.plus.net/t5/Library/Testing-From-The-Master-Socket/ba-p/1322242

 

Please let us know if the troubleshooting doesn't resolve the problem.

Re: Intermittent downtime

Hi Emily, I tried this, but still had the same results.  Can you arrange for an engineer?

 

Thanks,

Re: Intermittent downtime

Hi @deanrobertsuk,

I'm sorry to hear that you're receiving similar results. Just to clarify, how long did you have the router set up within the test socket in the property? When you did, where you connecting via a Wi-Fi connection or via an Ethernet connection?
