Quote from: robunknownuser Well I'm still having issues and they seem to be very bad this evening... using gateway pcl-bng02 at the moment. Every other web page times out or cannot be reached and internet banking along with posting on forums is highly frustrating! Logged a ticket so I'll wait and see what they come back with.
Hi rob
Did you get any further with this?
Over the last couple of days the problem has resurfaced for me after a few weeks of it being ok.

I asked for a Line Check last week when I lost internet twice only for a very short while, I now think that this problem may have surfaced then?
Still no sign of a line check from PlusNet, so either all busier, or fewer of them there, I think, possibly both. Annoying when broadband plays up isn't it, its not a toy and should be treated like power or water failing.

I've not properly investigated, but from what I can see, it looks more like a DNS lookup type issue rather than packet loss.

I thought it was my wireless card acting up. I had tried 10 different drivers until I just saw this thread
Phew, nothing wrong with my router then , I'm using OpenDNS I got these DNS Lookup errors, constantly, for every ~10-15 minutes. (My internet today caused dns errors around every ~30 minutes)
My DNS setup is:
Static DNS 1: Open DNS
Static DNS 2: Open DNS alternative
Static DNS 3: Google DNS
And I'm using forced dns redirection in my dd-wrt settings, to make sure these dns records will be forced on the devices connected.
Started around a dd-wrt build on, 2015/11/25. Lookup errors still present now, though only on ethernet making me think it's the router?
And I still prefer the ag gateway's compared to the pcl ones (they're always buggy for me, and pcl data centers are in London, where I live surprisingly)

Raise a ticket as the staff have said on many occasions recently, no ticket, no problems. The good old days of posting to the forum being taken as a call to action have gone.

I have a stable connection with no dns lookup errors (for upto three hours, so far), when I am connected to this gateway:
Quote You are currently connected to gateway ptn-ag03.
This is located in Telehouse North.
Seems like the PCL ones are up to play again (which happens all the time, for me )
EDIT: So it's been around six or seven hours, and no more DNS lookup errors
(Just had one now, been around 6 hours, but that is my Intel wireless card changing from the 5G band to the 2G band, when there is a signal degradation - worked again after 10 seconds...)

I tried a few traceroutes and pings and they all seemed to be going through okay though.
Just going to drop my connection and see if things improve.
