Hi,
It’s a week since I rejoined Plusnet during which time I’ve encountered multiple disconnects:
21/5 down 00:27:11 up 00:30:23
20/5 down 23:34:16 up 23:38:36
20/5 down 00:44:14 up 00:58:25
19/5 down 21:52:44 up 21:56:02
18/5 down 19:49:08 up 19:54:25
18/5 down 00:22:49 up 00:26:01
17/5 down 23:38:46 up 23:43:47
17/5 down 08:07:49 up 08:11:44
Those are the GMT timestamps from the event log.
Is this expected during the first week of connecting?
Thanks,
Jamie
ps. This forum account was setup when I was previously with Plusnet, not sure if there’s anything I need to do to associate it with my new subscription.

@jlog. Thanks for contacting us.
As the connection has just become active it's not unusual for there to be some disconnections, however please monitor this and should the disconnections become more frequent then please raise this as a fault.
You can raise a fault to us here: https://faults.plus.net
I hope this helps.
Thanks - Carl.

Thanks @Tomca I am having the same issue too, having also being with Plusnet for exactly a week. Mine drops out daily, usually between 10-11pm, and sometimes during the evening too. The connection always restores though, without me having to take any action. I was half expecting this to happen, as the connection beds in/you guys run testing etc. How much longer thought before I can raise this as a fault, if it continues? A few days, a week? Thanks.

@rshill1973. Each connection is different but a a rule we say to wait 14 days. However if the disconnections are frequent then please raise it as a fault so we can check the line.
Thanks - Carl.

OK thank you. I'll give it a day or two anyway (no harm), but I'll raise a fault if it persists longer than that.

Thanks @Tomca, I’ll keep an eye on it over the next few days.
Good luck with your connection, @rshill1973 🤞

Hi, unfortunately this has continued to happen over the last few days, with increasing frequency. Last night my connection dropped about ten times in the evening. The problem seems to be particularly acute in the evening and night time. It's happened already this evening, which has prompted me to pick up this thread again.
I'm going to raise a fault via the link provided earlier in the thread. Not the most auspicious start to my time with Plusnet!

Yup, same here... fault raised as daily disconnects still happening, usually in the evening ( :/) ... pretty disappointing tbh.
Disconnect always preceded by this message in the log:
(176965.110000) PPP LCP Send Termination Request [User request]
Pretty sure I didn't get this when I was previously with Plusnet using aTechnicolour router with separate modem... wondering if it would be worth digging those out to try instead of the Hub 1.

Thanks for getting back to us @jlog
Community forum accounts aren't linked to broadband accounts since we migrated to this new forum software in 2016. Having said that I can see you created your forum account in 2017 so I imagine you're referring to the bit in your profile that says "account username" I'm afraid that as far as I'm aware it's not possible to edit this.
I've however found your broadband account using your e-mail address in your forum profile and it doesn't look like you've reported a fault to us. I can see where you've began the broadband troubleshooter which has created ticket ID 202021232 but the troubleshooter wasn't completed so no fault has actually been reported.
I'd recommend making sure your router's plugged into the test socket found behind the faceplate of the master telephone socket explained Here which will rule out any internal wiring including the faceplate from being an issue.
If you continue to experience problems I'd then head on back to faults.plus.net to complete the process and report a fault.

Thanks for the reply, Gandalf.
Re: my forum account, I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t linked to my previous account and causing confusion when I raise queries for my new account.
I thought I’d gone right through the troubleshooter on Sunday evening after having another disconnect. I’ll switch to the test socket and see if that prevents them occurring on a daily basis. If not, I’ll try raising a fault properly

Is it possible to run a line test on my broadband please? Have been disconnected twice already this evening (although as usual it does always come back up).
I want to go through as many options as possible before I raise a fault. Tomorrow I will have been with Plusnet for two weeks, so any issues should have been ironed out by now.
Thanks

shouldnt really be any need for the customer to raise a fault if you are saying its a problem?
my new ISP immediately saw a problem and raised a fault themselves - for a ver similar issue (with what you have posted)
