I think I would second that They don't support iPlayer either which makes me mad.

I am still with the same one as you Prof. with no plans to change though I am sure there are cheaper ones.

I hope they sort you soon.

My Plusnet monthly is £14.95 for a 15gig allowance and it's on a monthly contract, no 6/12/18 month sign upand I'm happy with Plusnet, this could have happened to anyoneexcepting BUT! it's me as per

I agree, there seem to be problems everywhere. Hope you are sorted soon.

I am with BT, and struggle at around 500Kb/sec.....

see post 619 GT

WHERE THE DO THEY GET 20Mb/sec FROM!!!!!


(apologies for shouting!!)



GT

my friend across the road, does repairs/reprogramming to pc's as an hobby, he dropped BT last year because of the 500mb - there's still agro about the advertising "UP TO 2mg/*mg etc etc" on all ISP's, so far no one gets above 1mg as far as I know

True, Prof!!

I would drop, but I have been told in no uncertain terms that I am tied to them for 18 months!!!

that's why I like Plusnetsee post 622 above

As you can see from the connections above, your line is starting to look more stable. If this does continue to drop then we will need to arrange for an engineer visit.

I ain't got a clue what that means


me, as in test figures sent

This is the second test I have done via BT's broadband speed checker this evening. I have been informed by a friend who was present at the tests, that my IP Profile of 135 kbps is extremely low and that for up to 2 meg broadband, it should be approximately 1000 plus and this apparently is set by Plusnet. If a BT engineer is required to check the situation, I now feel that the fault is not of my doing, as being on income support the thought of £144 plus scares me

or in other words tough!

past caring

ps: he was only here for one test, as they have to be 3 hours apart

you would need a computer geek to even start to understand what they are saying.
-
that o 32 and then o.24, could be the gist of the drop, but other that that, its all gobledigook jim

I added 2, times'd by 4 and took away the first number I thought of and got a square orange for the answer

I tried that and got a bent banana!!!!!!

Sunday - latestso I've replied for them to get a BT engineer


Thanks for your query. At this stage you should not be concerned with speeds, the issue is that your connection is dropping. If the dropping connection issue is fixed then the speed will take care of itself.

Your connection did stabilise a few days ago suggesting the issue is from your side. I would suggest at this point plugging an alternate router/modem directly into the BT test socket and monitor the connection from there for a few days. This will rule out all of the internal wiring in your property. If the issue persists this can be re-raised with BT.
