The new router is next to useless for doing anything beyond an internet connection so I'm now running a Draytek 2860 router that allows me to run port forwarding easily and well. That has also dropped out daily for a few days and this evening while checking things has been on and off regularly ever hour or more frequently and the speed is awful. Currently I am connected at 4.2Mbps down and still 3.2Mbps up (no change there at least). This is with a download SNR of 7/8db. Previously when synced at 19.9Mbps down the SNR was 6db and then dropped to 5 and lost connection.
I've changed the DSL filter with no change. Rebooting the router allows connection again briefly but no better
Suffice to say I can't watch an of the IPTV channels at present which is annoying.
Screenshot of the 2860 connection page attached.

I believe the Technicolor router you had before might work - is there any chance you could try that?

I am curious as to why Plusnet haven't replied to this thread again, yet?

I've not had a chance to hook out the old router yet, too busy landscaping my garden when I get home from work in the evenings.

Fingers crossed it stays that way, especially with the rugby season proper starting soon!
There is however a bit of an issue in that the speed has settled at 11Mbps and under, so hardly great as that's a 30%+ drop in speed. I can only think that the line has deteriorated somewhere.
