I had the same issue. Plusnet would disconnect 5+ times a day, using their supplied router. That would also drop the speed right down. I changed to Sky, and switched to their router which never disconnects.

You do not in 99% of cases need to use the isp supplied modem-router. Even with virgin cable, you can put the modem-router in modem mode and use your own gear.

Exactly the same line, must just be the way that things are handled by different hardware.


some modem-routers are crappier than others. Or just buy your own
