Does anyone know what could be causing this.
My exchange is currently RED but surely that wouldn't cause this?

It's going to be actual line conditions. Do you hear static when you pick up your telephone? Any work going on at your exchange that you're aware of?

yes there is an extension but nothing is used on it.
Even being plugged into the master socket the connection has just dropped again .noise went from 15db 8db 0db then re synced at previous SNR and speed.(4608)

Have just spoken to BT and they have done two line test.
They say as the condition is not affecting the quality of the telephone (there tests showed no fault) i should go back to my ISP.

I'm hopeful that it's just over a brief period of time. Would you mind giving it 24-48 hours and see if the line automatically stabilises?
There's a chance it could be your router or filter too.

My router is Dlink 2640b which i have found to be very good .
Router is plugged into main socket with one phone .(Dlink filter)
Sure i will keep routerstats running for a day or so to see whats happening .

But today (12/2/09)the router had rebooted with a SNR margin of 22db! and sync 2500..
Why is my target SNR getting higher ,not to long ago it was 11db

You are likely to have an intermittent fault (the engineer's nightmare) it could be - your internal wiring, internal connections, your filter, your router, your line to the exchange, the BB line card.
Quote from: bigben I couldn't hear any noise on the line ,i am now plugged into the test socket to see if that make any difference .

That's nothing I'm afraid. Intermittent line problems come and go, you could wait days before hearing anything. Such problems can disappear (sometimes for a long period) after an incoming call, the ringing current temporarily cleans the bad connection, othertimes just picking up the phone can clear it. This is one reason why you should not use any automated tests when you hear noise like that, talk straight to an adviser and get them to confirm they can hear the noise, log it, and log it as intermittent.

This is the reason why you NEVER mention Broadband when talking to your phone service provider, you get the run around. If you can't hear any noise on the line, it's pointless phoning, although at that instant, running an automated test won't harm.
The reason you plug into the test socket, the one behind the removeable front plate, is that this disconnects your internal wiring, if wired correctly, which should be connected to the back of this removeable plate. If it is not a health and safety issue, ie equipment and wires trailing across a hallway, you should stay plugged into the test socket until the fault is pinpointed.
In view of your last post you should reboot your router in the daytime mid-dayish, if you've got some good routerstats results there may be a pattern as to when your SNRM tends to be highest, the best time to reboot.
Caution - do not disconnect/reboot more than 5 times in any hour, if you do the exchange DLM thinks you have a problem. If you need to disconnect you modem/router, switch it off first, wait about a minute then unplug it all. Ideally wait a minimum of about 15 minutes before reconnecting, but if it's only a once off in say a day, don't worry.
You can determine your target SNRM by looking at the stats immediately after a reboot. The SNRM thereafter varies according to the noise on/picked up on your line.
Can you post a complete set of DSL stats, that's Downstream & Upstream sync, attenuation and Noise Margin immediately after reboot.
From your last partial figures it would appear as though your current target is 15dB. The DLM targets are in steps of 3dB from 6dB to 15dB.
Whilst conducting testing/monitoring you should use a corded phone only. Unplug and switch off any cordless phones/faxes etc. Whilst the problem is exhibiting itself, you should try a substitute filter to eliminate that as a possibility, noting previous cautions about disconnecting. You should leave the substitue in place for long enough to be sure either way. Similar procedure in due course for the router.
HTH.
