automatic plusnet gateway swapping

is it normal for plusnet to kick users to swap their gateways?

noticed this morning all my ssh sessions dropped and I see my ppp was dropped at 6am to put me on a different gateway.

Happened quite a few times on adsl2+ yet to see it on fttc

It could have been BT (in fact that is more likely).

I hope it isnt a regular occurance given broadband is supposed to be 'always on'. Been dropped will drive me nuts as I have established connections that should last for days/weeks at a time.

There's nothing about it in the Plusnet Service status emails. Have you set your account to be sent those? They are very useful.

They haven't enabled IPv6 for you have they?

no that would need to me to use new login details I assume.

Lets see what happens from now on first, it may be related to me been a new customer as I have noticed my rdns has changed from yesterday and also my throughput is 2mbit down suggesting a profile change. Before I maxed at 7.7mB now its 7.5.

so basically none of you guys had a ppp drop last night and you usually have long uptimes?

I get this occasionally, maybe every couple of weeks, usually early in the morning.
