We are suffering persistent disconnections of our broadband.
The line connects for several minutes then disconnects and so on...
Have tried connecting phone and broadband via the master socket but problem persists.
This seems to occur after a heavy amount of rain.
Once the rain stops and things are dry the connection is stable.

I'd suggest running through the faults checker at https://faults.plus.net and we'll pick this up.

Inbetween the intermittent service we've managed to submit the fault at the link provided.

I note that you had phone lines issues back in June. How is the phone line at present? Is it quiet? Have you tried dialling 17070 option 2?
Is the router connected at the master socket?

Tried a second time and it sounds nice and quiet.
Router and phone are temporarily connected via the master socket since yesterday.
We suffered about 45 minutes of continual disconnects about midday today as im sure you can verify via your visual radius tool.
The line then started behaving lasting some 25 minutes before disconnecting.
We are now seem to be back in the cycle of disconnections every few minutes.

Keep doing the quite line check, especially when the line keeps disconnecting. Noise can be very intermittent, especially in wet weather. Using the phone can 'clear' the noise for a period.

Line is stable now, will monitor how stable it is after the next downpour
For now we are happy to have stability - uptime so far 1 day 9 hours syncing at 446 / 20119 (although FEC errors at 42million - a little high? but not too fussed as it works...)
Thanks once again to plusnet staff who looked into our problem

Interleaving is a sticky plaster. If your line is marginal then it could go knackered at any time. Your report on noise is not reassuring. Keep an ear on that. If you get noise even just time to time, then report an intermittently noisy line fault, as it could just fail at anytime.

We now have high levels of noise on telephone calls and broadband dropping quite frequently again.
It drizzled over the weekend so probably topped up BTs hole in the ground...
Just arranging for an engineer to visit again.

If your phone line is not with PlusNET do NOT mention your broadband issues to your phone supplier. Only tell them about INTERMITTENT line noise. If you mention broadband issues they will send you back to PlusNET who cannot rectify copper faults.

Broadband engineer visited yesterday. He plugged his meter into the master socket ran a few tests, pronounced the line was fine and went and sat in his van for 20 minutes
He suggested to report a noisy line.
Unfortunately we still seem to be suffering from intermittent noisy phone, and bursts of broadband disconnects. Phone calls are now disconnecting the broadband.

This needs review with BTOR, which one trusts PlusNET will do directly. There are two scenarios here...
The fault is intermittant, was not detectable at the time of the visit, thus could not be easily located for rectification.
Alternatively you got a Broadband engineer who decided you have a POTS fault which he felt was below his pay grade to fix.
Whichever, the outcome is far from ideal for you. Both you and PlusNET will now have to have another go on BTOR's merry-go-round.

I've just tested the line for noise, but as suspected it didn't find any issues which is most likely due to the intermittent nature of the fault.
I'm going to reply to the fault ticket on your account now, can you respond there to confirm the tests I'll outline and we'll get this reported as a phone fault asap.
