Re: Problem after problem

It is possibly the router or the power supply.
My Netgear is very sensitive to voltage dips and reboots itself at the slightest provocation

Don't knock Plusnet for your IP Profile. It's nothing to do with them. Have a moan at BT Wholesale, they manage your line

I do not think that is correct.
BT Wholesale are Plusnet's supplier for broadband  - not yours. They will simply refuse to talk to you as they have no contractual arrangement with you. BT Wholesale's contract is with Plusnet and they will only talk to Plusnet.
If your phone calls are with BT, then your contract for phone calls is with BT retail (a different part of BT to BT Wholesale) and BT Retail do not care about and have no responsibility for broadband.
It is Plusnet's responsibility to sort out any broadband problems you have, (maybe with limits if the problem is your side of the master socket)

I think the SNR reset puts you back in the 10 day training period which is liable to cause some disconnects.

Its been 12 days now, and is still doing it?

Re: Problem after problem

Re: Problem after problem

Is this the Thomson we sent you? If so let me know and I'll get you a replacement ordered, see if that's causing the problem.

And don't worry about it.. I gave PN a month, and if things went tits up again i'd leave.. Well now it's back to what it was before, so ill guess i have no other option..
But for those 2 weeks that i had the 6.0 SNR, gaming was heaven, and pos by best broadband experience..
Now on to pastures new, just hope the grass is greener
Thanks for trying to help me guys
EDIT: Just as i thought, tried to play call of duty online and had 2 yellow bars!!! the past 2 weeks ive had 4 bars in 95% of games and host for 60% of them.. GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Problem after problem

If 55ms is the highest ping you've had, then I wouldn't say the line is performing particularly badly if I'm honest.
