Could you repost the failing IP's with the third quartets please.

If you mean the disconnect and reconnect button in the UI, then I have that. The problem is blasted DLM. Keep doing that may cause my speed to drop again.

If the "disconnect" button drops sync, then no, that's not what I mean. If it drops PPP session without dropping sync then the DLM wouldn't even know anything happened.
Usually though the "drop ppp without dropping sync" is only available via the command-line interface, not the GUI (if the router has a command-line interface at all, some don't). And the exact command obviously depends on the router's model.

Just hope that new unlimited fibre is not stealing to much of my bandwidth.

Seeing as it wasn't available until 19 December so no new signups live yet, and existing customers can only upgrade on their billing date, plus the capacity upgrades already installed for the forecast demand growth for the immediate future, that seems rather unlikely.

I''ve also started having issues aswell with strange IP address's being assigned and loss of browsing. No loss of sync to the exchange, but dropped ppp sessions with repeated error messages

LCP Down - Failed to Authenticate
Chap Authentication Failed

When it does establish a ppp session, there is no browsing when the IP range is dynamically assigned.

IP address range = 172.16.112.XXX
DNS = 62.6.38.125

According to my router logs, it's been happening since 00.30gmt on the 20th December. I've obviously not noticed it during the night, but it happend yesterday evening.
No loss of sync with the exchange.

Hmmm, being assigned an IP address reserved for private LANs? And a BT DNS server?
I've seen that before when the BT's server failed to connect to the ISP's RADIUS server to authenticate the ppp session.

There is nothing wrong with plusnet IP. I still accessing sky go and sky news live no problem at all. It must be at your pc end's problem (maybe your firewall)

Max, your trolling is becoming more transparent every day.

I thought there was a major outage that affected plusnet last night http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1356914255.htm

The "Disconnect" button in Plusnet's Technicolor routers drops PPP and not synch.

Thanks for reply. A pity Plusnet could not of replied. So are you saying it's a problem at skynews end? If so, how can we contact sky about this then?

Yes, I'm saying it's Sky not keeping their data up to date - and by the sound of it being years behind.

Ironic somewhat, because I seem to remember when Sky launched their broadband service some years ago, there were similar problems with UK sites not recognising their range of IP addresses !
