Hiya @rich-, thanks for getting in touch. I am really sorry for the issues with your service.
I have checked on your connection and can certainly see that there are some frequent drops happening. I have tested the line and this has detected a fault in the network and so would advise having a run through our troubleshooting here: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/connection-troubleshooting/ and connect to the test socket for the time being as shown here: https://community.plus.net/t5/Library/Testing-From-The-Master-Socket/ba-p/1322242, so we can rule this out as internal.
If the issue continues, we will need to look at sending an engineer for you. I have created a fault ticket here for you: https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=218680459 you'll just need to get back to us on the ticket with the requested information, just give us a nudge if you reply and we will get that picked up for you.

Engineer visit was arranged for yesterday so I stayed in for the morning.
If one turned up, I wasn't aware.
The ticket's been closed saying the line seems stable now.
I'm seeing 17Mbps on an up to 80Mbps line (neighbours on all sides are eligible for g.fast but for some reason I'm not), I'm not surprised it's stable at that speed.

Hello @Rich
Thanks a lot for getting back to us and I'm really sorry to see that the fault is still not fully resolved. The line does appear to be stable now, but the speeds are still quite low. The line is banded at 55Mbps (which it shouldn't be), and the download sync speed is in and around 44.1 Mbps.
The sync speed isn't reaching the profile speed, which indicates that there's still a fault on the line, so I've rejected the "clear notification" from our suppliers and we're just awaiting a further update now.
In regards to the appointment, I can see that it was booked from our end, though Openreach then informed us that internal access was not required.
I've re-opened the fault Ticket on the account so that our Support Team will pick this up again.

I've had a load of disconnects in the last few days and line speed down to about 15Mbps again.

It's been fairly stable since the last engineer visit, but I'm back at nearly 15Mbps and getting the disconnects again.

Hi Rich,
I'm really sorry to see you're having connection issues again.
I've tested your line and the tests aren't showing the cause for this, but I can certainly see the drops and your speed's slow.
Before we arrange another engineer, it may be worth looking at the router. Are you still using the Technicolor router and Openreach modem we've sent? They're very old! I think upgrading to a newer modem/router may be a good idea, if so.

Not sure I ever had a Technicolor. I'm on an Asus which is probably 5 years old now. I've got two Openreach modems, a Huawei and an ECI. Over the months I've swapped between both to little effect.

I had an Asus N66U, which would sync at 31 MBps, and over a month or two reduce to around 15 MBps.
After several engineers had improved the line in varoius ways... it still reduced over time.
I then got a FritzBox 7530, and it has synced at a rock solid 39 MBps ever since - and has now been up for 102 days after a power cut.
If your line is good, check your router! BUT the line needs to be reset with new router in place. Just changing router had no effect for me.
