This has been causing me a lot of annoyance and if anyone has any (polite) thoughts on it I'd be grateful.

If you are using wireless and have the option (for experiment) to use wired to the router, try that to see if things are better.
If you know how, it could be worth changing the DNS so that you use an external one (eg Google's 8.8.8.8) rather than the PlusNet DNS servers.

I've plugged in the ethernet connection and switched the DNS back to Plusnet (it was on Google).
I think I'll skip trying Chrome for now as I have Firefox synced to another machine on which SWMBO is struggling to make sense of computers.

I was really suggesting Chrome or whatever as a test (to see if it behaved better) rather than as a permanent solution. But you could also try (as an experiment) launching Firefox without extensions to see if that helped.

Then, following five or six weeks of uninterrupted connection, my router lost connection at some time during two nights running. (BT network maintenance maybe) and coincidentally my rather poor download speed went up a couple of notches to ~1.8
Since the first overnight loss of connection the "not responding " problem has not recurred and although I haven't the slightest idea why this should be I'll accept it with pleasure !

Try using one from Plusnet and one from Google - 8.8.8.8
