Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Steam
I've been having countless issues with the 2 ever since joining Plusnet among other issues that seem to be sorted now. I have this really random problem where I simply cannot connect to any server at all and it's not a consistent problem as it just happens randomly every day at no specific time or when certain people are online at home. The other issue is that I cannot load pages within Steam randomly as well (I know currently theres problems on their end with the community servers and inventory). I'm not sure if its the router causing this or the connection.
I've already portforwarded everything I need for the games I play, I've also tried turning the firewall off on the router and using the "Game Mode" but nothing seems to make it work. Basically it works for a few hours then doesn't work for say 20mins to an hour and then works again. Another issue is the router seems to randomly decide when my brothers connection to Xbox Live works, I'll chuck him into DMZ and it works then a few days later it doesn't so I take him out of it and it works again which makes no sense at all. And yes my pc and his xbox both have static IP's.
I do have a spare DSL-2740R that I attempted to setup but it failed to work, it also didn't work when I was on O2 due to the chipset. I used to have the TG582n connected to my N66U for the first week or so which worked fine until the TG again decided randomly when the connection to the N66U would work (connection didnt drop but the speeds decided to take a plummet and again connection to xboxlive and csgo servers failed) so I removed it from the setup and now directly connected to the TG582n which worked for say a day before the issues above occured.
Anyone else experienced this or have any fix for this? Or shall I reattempt to use the TG582n as a modem and the N66U as the router again? Possibly a routing issue with Plusnet?
Any help would be appreciated

Sorry for the late reply, the connection seems to be fine now but was horrendous during the week of that post but as I said everythings fine now. I have changed to a different router (last tuesday) and stopped using the plusnet one which was causing quite a few issues with staying connected and I've had no issues since (been keeping an eye on everything daily to make sure). It was to pretty much all Valve related games on Steam, Xbox Live and occasionally on WoW.
However I've just noticed this:
What would be causing this as my brother claims he isnt downloading or anything and neither am I

Just did a few tests and my IP Profile seems to have dropped from 10.5 to 9mbps and my upload speed has dropped from ~1mbps to 0.4 😕 probably caused by whatever is going on with my line atm 
Kind of frustrating as I've only had 1 week since joining where my connection has been fine and that was last week 😐
