WAN IP Address 172.16.8.8

Further to this, is there anything that Plusnet can do to remove/resolve the problem?

Unfortunately, when this happens, the End User panics and hits the power button. BT Wholesale rewards this (not unreasonable) panic with a 3dB increase in the Target SNR - currently 18dB with INTERLEAVING!

Alternatively, if there is no permanent solution, I'll accept complete removal/reversal of the Destructive Line Manglement.

If BT Wholesale believe there's a line problem, they'll be able to produce irrefutable evidence showing the problem (power-saving is NOT acceptable evidence of a line problem). They'll then be welcome to fix the non-existent line problem at their expense.

How frequently is the problem occurring, what exchange are you on and have you raised a support ticket about this in the past?

Since posting, daily!

LNNFN - I've posted an update in the Plusnet forum.

Hiya,

Sorry to hear that you've still been having problems.

Our faults team have experience of dealing with these sort of problems - could you possibly go to http://faults.plus.net and raise a fault on there so that they can get things sorted for you?

In reply to a post by Metronet_James:

- could you possibly go to http://faults.plus.net and raise a fault on there so that they can get things sorted for you?

I have reluctantly raised a call - Question | ID: 30567017

As ALL the questions on the FAULTS page are related to sync issues between the CPE and DSLAM/MSAN, I'm not expecting a successful outcome to this issue.

Removal of interleaving and resetting the target negotiated SNR back to it's unspecified default (widely believed to be 6dB on BT Wholesale supplied ADSL services) will be most welcome.

Not resolved yet...
