Regular line Dropouts and slowing speeds

[#1]

Hi All,

I moved over to PlusNet in July 2020 after being on Fibre to cabinet with BT, Talk Talk and EE.

I tend to move suppliers to get the best deals and have had a very solid service and speed from previous suppliers.

Unfortunately since moving to PlusNet we have had regular line drop outs, varies from once a day to 3-4 times a day.

Previously, speed was consistently above 50mb but now averages 36-40mb.

I appreciate the efforts of the support teams as they have always done what they can.

Many line tests, sometimes finding a fault sometimes not.

Several engineer visits, the last resulting in replacement of master socket.

Have tried new routers sent to us by PlusNet and a tplink router but keep it on the latest PlusNet router for testing etc.

Despite all efforts, the disconnects and slow speeds persist.

I'm no expert but I feel the issue is likely to be at the cabinet.

So, is there anything I have said ring any bells to other users who might have had a similar issue.

Here are my BT wholesale broadband checker details.  You can see my old line speeds are easily do-able!!!

Sight of your Helpdesk tab may be helpful - but remove any personally identifiable information.

Speed test just run.

Hi @jab1 ,

How do I do that?

Click the 'Troubleshooting tab on your router homepage, as below.

Not quite - we really need the information available under the ''Troubleshooting' tab - top right.

Other than your D/S noise margin and consequently lowered data rate, nothing shouts at me on there. My next suggestion is to carry out a Quiet Line Test on your phone, preferably using a wired handset - dial 17070, select option 2 and listen. Apart from the regular 'Quiet Line Test' message, you should hear nothing. Any hissing, crackling or other noise - report a phone fault. Unless that is clear, you will not achieve optimum broadband performance.

Ran the quiet line test and all seems fine.

I'll call support again tomorrow to highlight the issues again.

did you get this resolved?
