For the last hour or so the internet connection has been dropping every few minutes. The modem lights don't change from green as far as I can tell. I've rebooted the router and just reconnected on other occasions but the connection just keeps dropping.
Any ideas what could be causing it? The modem logs give no clues.

I'm getting this as well, and have been since yesterday (3/10/15). Sometimes the router will notice it's dropped the connection, go red and then manage to reconnect, but most of the time I have to manually reset it.
EDIT: I've had a problem similar to this one for a while, but it's got really bad over this weekend.

The connection seemed to stabilize yesterday afternoon, but it's just disconnected again. Had to reboot the router this time, reconnect was having no effect.

This stabilized for me around mid-morning yesterday, but started again this morning. It dropped and reconnected three times in the half-an-hour I was having breakfast.
I went through the troubleshooter, but it found no problems. Although the final connect-directly-to-BT-router test was hard to do as the fault is intermittant.

Started again around 11pm last night. Had to reboot router, but after that I gave up and went to bed. After some two and a half years of a stable connection this is annoying. Would be interested to see what Plusnet can see on the connection logs.

And twice again in the last hour. It's beginning to get on my nerves now.

I have been out for a couple of hours and this happened. I've just gone through the performance to raise a ticket but there is no ticket number given any more? Do no PN staff read these forums any more?
