Thanks but that setting is already off.

I think it probably is unrelated I just wasn't sure.

I saw RobertoS mention something about the gateway's bnc (i think) not being very good, I've managed to reconnect to pcl-ag04 so I will see how that goes for a while for p2p.

bgn gateways don't do IPv6, which is madness seeing as all the older ones did and these are new. They also seem to be low performance/throughput.

Some of the older ones are better on pings and BQM, but recently may be slow on browsing. My norm is 12-14ms, currently on pcl-ag06 with 20ms BQM and 22ms to bbc.co.uk, with snappy browsing. as opposed to a recent "ptn-ag01 12ms (V laggy)". ptn-ag01 between 20 and 29 October gave me the same 12ms but was fast browsing. That "V laggy" was several seconds for normal page loads.

Tried this, Stephen, but it made no difference. Just in the past few days whilst some websiites seem to load at usual speed some are ssslllooowww - in fact with the revolving doughnut going anti-clockwise!
Odd, but I want to stick with GC rather than IE11

apparently ipv6 does work on them but they dont dish out the ip via dhcpv6. This is according to andyH on the plusnet forums.

LOL
I haven't seen that, (not been looking), but doesn't that mean they don't work on IPv6?

Ah!

But what if I take the IP address I assigned to the BQM and fix it in my router? Is that covered wherever you are quoting from?
...
Just done that but landed on ptw-ag03. Will try another gateway change in a minute.

Edit - now on ptn-bng02. Let's see how it goes!

Nah ! IP address showing in the relevant fields but only got the IPv4 connection now. Hugely improved ping! 20ms >> 11ms.
