PPPoE Dial On Demand Or Always On Problem

[Spandex]

Set up my router on PPPoE and bypassed having the bt router plugged in completely and it was automatically set to dial on demand, so i tried switching it to always on, but if i do this about an hour later the internet cuts off on the router for about a minute and then when it comes back on we have internet but now at 1/10th of the speed, 930mbps down to 93mbps, always guaranteed 1/10 exactly, have no idea why but it has done it 3 times now without fail by changing from dial on demand to always on.

I since looked at the set up and realised i had the tp link ethernet switch not set to loop prevention, could this have caused the drop in connection and the speed dropping to exactly 1/10 of the speed when it reconnected ?, i have done away with the tp ethernet switch as well now by the way since i no longer need that as the netgear xr500 is just feet away from my pc's.

Potentially given the always on setting is meant to make it more convenient rather than less, now you don't have it connected I suspect you'll find out rather quickly if it happens again but the PPPoE connection should be quite robust with the XR.
