I have a static IP. Some years ago I had a change made that meant that a reverse lookup of my IP address returned just the IP address (or similar). At the time, I checked and it was working as intended. I've recently checked and find that it now returns my domain (account) name. Any reason why this has changed?
p.s. - Sorry if this should be in another forum, if that's the case I'm sure it'll get moved .
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Yes please. I'm also ambivolent about having a fixed IP. It's not something I've ever made use of, it was just a tick box when I joined last time and came at no cost then. TBH I'm not sure of all the pros & cons.

Yes that will be OK. I can't think of any downside as I've never knowingly made use of it.

OK rebooted with a new IP. Now all I need is to be able to stay connected for more than a couple of hours at a time

And there's me thinking we'd got you sorted!
Yes, I can see it's dropping out fairly frequently.
I've been looking into it and running diagnostics but we're not seeing any obvious issues.
I'd give the tips here a try next: https://goo.gl/tu2WWu

Yes - since the 19th Jan when I connected the HubOne, my average time connected has been something like 3 hours although I did have one period when it stayed connected for just over 2 days. Before that I had been using my own router (Netgear R6250) with the original BTOR modem and I could go for weeks without losing the connection.
Is it possible to connect the old modem and then connect that to the wan port?
p.s. - I have a nice quiet line and I'm not aware of any problems. I am over half a mile from the cabinet so perhaps that's a factor as well as the fact that my drop wire and I think the cabling to the cabinet is 40+ years old.

I've replaced the BTOR modem and have now connected via that (approx 08:30 24/2/18 ) but I can't monitor my WAN connection now. I'll come back to this in a couple of days and perhaps then my logs at the PlusNet end will show whether there has been any improvement.

The last entry in the WAN section of my router logs shows a PPoE connection made at 08:33 on 24/2/18 and this was using my original BTOR modem, so over 4 days now without a drop that I can detect.
It seems pretty clear that the integrated modem in the Hub One is not suitable for my line for whatever reason whereas the original one is.
Adam, can I ask you to look at the logs at your end to confirm that my connection hasn't dropped over the last 4 days.
