Been with plusnet since November 2016 and have had nothing but problems!
The technician has been round and sorted out the speed but the intermittent connection problems persist.
Some days are ok but today the Internet has been unusable... dial up was better than the "fibre" service I had today.
I have had enough!
Posted results from speed tests taken throughout the day!

Hello @Parkview74
Sorry to hear your having issues with your broadband. I'm not picking up any issues when testing your line:
Sync Status | In Sync |
Downstream Speed | 40.0 Mbps |
Upstream Speed | 2.0 Mbps |
Your connection from your exchange to your router is also pretty stable too:
Are you connecting wirelessly or using a wired connection?

Also looks like the wifi signal shows the wifi strength as the icon changes, quite a few of them are showing 1 bar of wifi signal.
If you can test wired it will help give consistent results and help with the diagnosis.

I mainly use wireless but have tried everything suggested to me so far to improve the wireless connection. Eg, changing the channel, only using the 2.4ghz band, re-locating the hub,etc. The technician even checked for interference when he was here and said that was definitely not the issue.
However I still get many drop outs, a problem which I never had when I was with Sky's normal broadband which only gave me around 10mbs.
Reading the forum it seems that many others have been experiencing similar wifi problems.
Would purchasing another router improve things for me do you think. This router has been suggested on another post:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TP-LINK-TD-W9970-N300-Wireless
but for someone who had the hub 0, rather than the hub 1 which I have.
Would that router solve/help my wireless issue?
Thanks
