Web Chat to Support waste of 25 minutes

[#1]

Re: Question #108468202
A short while ago had a 'Web Chat' conversation. What a waste of both the agent's and my time. Although polite and friendly the agent was unable either to do anything or tell me anything over the course of 25 minutes. I was left no wiser.
I have experienced dire speed problems and disconnects for about 3 weeks. Most unusually the issue is with upload rather than download.  I am on 80/20 Unlimited FTTC my current reported line speed is 60 Mbps (always has been thereabouts some distance from cabinet). BT W speedtester and Thinkbroadband roughly agree on download speeds  of 50 plus/minus a bit. My normal upload speed has been 16-17. Reliable line for nearly 3 years now. Upload speed seems now stuck at ~2.0 Mbps although has been as low as 0.25! Download perfectly acceptable.
Engineer came as promised last Friday morning 14/08 spent about 30 minutes checking the line first via BTOR modem then direct into socket. He found no evidence of any problem - synch speed was 60 Mbps.
There was a disconnection on Sunday (16/08) when no one was at home and no computers switched on. Another at 10.45 today which lasted about 5 minutes.
Question now "on hold" and another 72 hours will elapse before an update! This is unacceptable. I have come to the conclusion, perhaps wrongly, that there is no fault with my line but rather with PlusNet's infrastructure/systems.
I joined PlusNet  7 years ago the choice based on their reputation for reliability and customer service. These characteristics seem to have "gone the way of all flesh". I do not want a "cheap and cheerful" ISP, I spend a good deal of time on-line, but it would appear that this is what PlusNet is fast becoming. Where should I go?

Hi there,
I believe that the fault ticket will be picked up again shortly. Sorry for the problems you're having.

If your monthly download is less than 100GB look at Home::1

Hi Chris
Thanks for the post. Update at 19.30 yesterday. Apparently there is an intermittent (   ) line fault. Appointment to be made for another visit.

That's ADSL, FTTC is £10 more.

I have been with PN now for a number of years and noticed a distinct deterioration in the service. The quality of the website is also very poor and it seems that PN have gone out of their way to make it difficult to obtain customer support.
