BB fine for months

[#1]

...and now I have lost connection a few times in the last week and 3 times already today, I can hear more static noise on my phone line, it seems like BTOR have been messing around at my exchange. Up noise margin was at 5 or 6 for months, it then jumped up to 12 and now with the disconnects it is back to 6. I had to restart my router this morning as it wouldn't sync and I have had a peer terminate and another disconnect since.
Hopefully this is BTOR getting my exchange ready for Fibre, but I doubt it.

Hi there,
Diagnostics don't actually show me anything obvious I'm afraid.
The level of disconnections we're seeing shouldn't cause any other detrimental effects but I'd keep an eye on this and get a fault raised if it continues to happen:

Thanks for the reply and graph Adam, I guess I am a bit paranoid as last time BTOR were here about 18 months ago, they moved me onto a less congested line on the exchange, and my sisters BB went funny (she is on the same exchange and was with BT). My sister has recently returned to BT from SKY and was having problems, and her problems disappeared a few days ago and I started having disconnections. So I thought maybe BTOR had moved me onto a more congested line and gave my Sister my spot in the exchange.
The graph looks good, so hopefully today was just a one off.

I did a test this morning because if I am gaming and the phone rings, the gaming seems to deteriorate. So I took the phone of the stand and pressed the answer button to get a dial tone, I did this 4 times and each time the router reset itself. I will test it for a few more days and then make a fault ticket.

If this continues to happen, are you able to try an alternative microfilter?

[#6]

Thanks Chris, I have another micro filter ready so I will swap it out in the morning. Funny thing is I have been on the phone a lot of times and the router hasn't reset itself since the 4 times this morning. Maybe my router is not a morning router 

[#7]

That sounds a little too human to me

[#8]

I changed the filter and as far as I can tell the disconnections have stopped when using my phone, but I have had a few peer terminates and the noise seems to be getting worse. I have filled out a fault ticket for the noisy line.
Edit
It is still disconnecting when using my phone.

[#9]

Hi PitchBlack,
The ticket has been returned to you to carry out some tests before we raise this to our suppliers. Please reply to the ticket with your findings and our Faults team will carry out a further investigation.

[#10]

I have attached this here as I don't want to move my fault ticket to the back of the queue

Edit,
I notice when my phone is in the base the upstream noise is 8, and when I am using it, it drops to 1. Usually it is a steady 6. It is also coming up with "timeout in LCP and CHAP" negotiations.

[#11]

We've raised a phone fault on your line as a potential issue has been identified. I've updated your ticket to reflect this and we'll update you in this as soon as we can.

[#12]

The BTOR engineer has just gone and he said my line was perfect, so someone must have been in the exchange on Saturday because the line became clear around then. Is it possible to put a connection graph on here for the last 10 days please. It got to the stage where every time someone rang, or I pressed to get a dial tone my router switched off and I lost connection. As I said though on Saturday it miraculously fixed itself with no intervention from myself.

[#13]

Hmm, very odd.
Here's your connection graph, as requested:

[#14]

Thanks for the graph Chris. I can't understand it either, I think that a BTOR engineer must have been at the cabinet on Saturday fixing something and inadvertently fixed mine.
Monday the 31st was a bad day but that was my fault as I found it amusing that the router lost connection every time I pressed to get a dial tone.
Another strange thing was that even though I was losing connection a lot my profile stayed roughly the same, so the DLM never seemed to kick in which is a good thing.

[#15]

I just picked up my phone to check 1471 and the noise is back and the 2 times I checked 1471 the router disconnected. Last week it was my upstream noise margin that was dropping like a stone when I used my phone, today it is my downstream noise margin. As I have put on my fault ticket, the BTOR phone engineer who was here on Monday said if it happened again, to send a BB engineer next time.
Edit:
.....and now the noise has stopped again.
The BTOR engineer said there was no problem, so next time, the engineer should go to the exchange instead of here, as the problem is nothing to do with my setup, it is to do with something outside my property.
