I've done a fair amount of research over the past few hours... Hence the late post time. I'm a allow aware that PPP LCP Send Termination Request are simply symptomatic of the connection being terminated.
My issue is that this is Day 1 of my connection with plusnet. I have had, as far as I can count, 13 disconnects over the last 6 hours. The connection simply fails. I left Talktalk for plusnet because of them not sorting the issue. It seems to have followed me.
I've started a fault request, but any insights the Mods can give me would be gratefully received.
Cheers
James

Which isn't detecting obvious issues. Is there any noise on your phone line at all?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for helping me out with this. I did the quiet line test as best as I was able:
- On a wireless handset (thats all we have) picked it up, dialled 17070 and placed the call.
- Selected Option 2 for quiet line test.
- Heard nothing (after "Quiet Line test")
- This wasnt done when plugged into the test circuit, but Im assuming that with it being quiet, I don't need to try that.
I was under the impression that you would hear the dial tone...but on further reading it should be silent.
It was clear, no clicks, noises or distortion. As you say, I've been checking the logs fairly closely and I agree completely (unsurprisingly - but always worth checking) that there have been no resets. However, I've had this happen with TalkTalk for a while so I hope you understand my heart sinking when on the first day it happened with Plusnet.
I'll leave it for now, hopefully it was simply an initial setup - line swap over peculiarity? If it does return, at least there is this initial record anyway. In the mean time, if the problem does come back again, any suggestions of what to try to whittle down the problem or help ease it? A noise test when its happening? The router is on the floor, but isnt getting warm. The only circuitry nearby is a Hive Hub and a SamKnows whitebox - neither emitting huge RF signatures.
As I said, thanks for checking anyway - Fingers crossed!
Cheers,
James

I could be wrong, but the disconnects in the RADIUS shot up there looks like it's been dropping every 10 minutes. I'd be interested to see what happens overnight and at the same times tomorrow morning.

As @notmyname suggests, the disconnections do look very regularly spaced out rather than completely at random. This may sound odd, but next time this happens you can check for REIN (Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise) by tuning an AM/MW radio to 612Khz and walking around near devices with it to see if anything increases the interference/noise.

It's been stable since 04:23 tuesday morning, so hopefully it was just teething issues, but I'll keep watching and try and borrow a radio from someone if the fault reappears.
In terms of regularity, I think it's just because it was happening so often, the times were random (24m, 3m, 9m, 5m, 16m for the last five).
One thought, whilst the broadband was active and I'd had an email saying all set up and ready, I got a later email saying my phone was now ready. Is that likely to be of consequence?
Once again thanks.

Confirmation of the phone order completing shouldn't have any influence on the connection status of the line.
Do let us know if you start to experience further issues.

Well, possibly speaking too soon. 3 disconnects within the last two hours. I don't have a radio to hand so may have to borrow one if this continues.

I don't have a transistor radio, so like I said, I'll have to borrow one. In the meantime, from what I've read REIN is very hard to narrow down the source, and also fix. Are there other things to check?
Would the Radius show issues if it was done when the problem was occurring? Or if it says the line is ok, is that a binary status - it either is or it isn't.

I've been away for the weekend, and on getting back, it has continued throughout the time we have been away. Also still happening now. This isn't an issue with the Homehub as it happened with a TP-Link VR600 as well. All electrical equipment near the router has been unplugged.
Tearing my hair out because I had hoped that switching providers would solve it. I've raised a fault via the website, but any ideas gratefully received.

Great chap from plusnet has been in touch with understanding and also when needed simple terms. I'm trying to whittle it down to if anything internal to the house is causing this... I'm hoping that it is the 4 gang extension lead.
With just the router plugged into a separate power source, it's been stable for 4 days. I have to have the Hive heating plugged in, so that's next to see if there is any change. After that it's the Sam Knows whitebox, and then finally the extension.
Hopefully there will be no drops until I plug the extension in, and then sporadic drops again... I'll update in a couple of days.

Now I can't get the fault to occur again at all! That's usually a good thing, but with nothing being changed, I am obviously expecting it to reoccur at some point. I've changed all the power source back to using the 4 gang extension and all other items on that too. If nothing changes I'd guess it's fixed. But I don't know why!
