My Fibre Connection

Last night (sunday 17 01) my IP suddenly changed to 146.& i checked my gateway & it showed a new uptime of 25 minutes.
My connection speed is usually around over 37 mbps down & just over 7 mbps up.
It dropped way down last night to around 11 mbps down,so i did a gateway hop & it started to come back up again.
My IP is now 80.i use internet radio because our village is in a dip with big hills around & this morning it is constantly losing the radio.
Before last night my radio has been solid,what is going on,can someone look at this for me. Shocked Huh

Re: My Fibre Connection

Your line is testing fine, no issues and it's showing a good sync speed of over 40Mb/s
Are you having any other issues with your connection? What kind of speeds are you getting?

Re: My Fibre Connection

I've been having the exact same problem and after the 23 minute wait to get through to Support I also got told that my connection is synced at 40mb/s
My actual speed though is:

I did (no reply yet) - but I cant see a problem with letting this user know that his problem isnt unique but is happening to others
In fact there are several threads along a similar vein all with similar timescales. Perhaps Plusnet Support might see them all and decide there is an issue to investigate

We have a lot of different IP ranges, 146. is just one of them.
