The thing is when the line is stable for days it doesn't seem to push me back up the pecking order.

By "up the pecking order" do you mean an increase in synch rate?
Your SNRM taken from the Monday morning stats figures is very high, which I suggest is consequential of doing a resynch in the early hours (circa 1am) of Saturday morning. Doing resynchs during dark hours is not ideal to achieving the fastest synch - it does however tend to get you a more stable synch rate if your line is more susceptible to noise.
Briefly it works like this... When the line resynchs, it sets a synch rate which will deliver the target SNRM (typically 6dB) 'against' the current background noise. ADSL lines are susceptible to MW radio transmissions during the hours of darkness. As dawn comes, that interference goes away and thus the measured SNRM rises whilst the synch rate will remain unchanged throughout the session. If the line is stable (no really bad noise) the session could last for weeks with no human intervention.
The key question here is what is the TARGET SNRM for your line? If it is 6dB then a 13dB shift between the point of the session starting (1am Saturday morning) and 10:30 Monday morning is far more than would be expected for normal night time interference. Either (for some yet to be explained reason) your target SNRM is atypically high or your line is suffering from a lot of noise. A SNRM reset will cause the line to enter the 10 day training mode - I guess the reconnect at a little after 8am on Tuesday was the reset and the one this morning was the DLM at work. Some new router stats would be useful. Setting up routerstats lite for persistent monitoring would be beneficial too.
Your stats from 10 Sept shows a high SNRM 11dB and I suggest a high FEC rate (over 1m) in 2.33 hours. Engineer test equipment can force a different SNRM than would a router, thereby attaining a higher synch rate than normal. However with a 34dB attenuation, at a SNRM of 6dB you should see circa 12mbs, which you are well short of.
Have you checked your internal wiring as per Chris' guides at the top of this forum?
So back to your expectation - to get back up the pecking order, you would need to do a controlled resynch which does not upset the DLM. To do this, log into the router and disconnect the PPP session and wait a couple of minutes effort powering down the router. Some recommend waiting 15 minutes before switching the router ack on again. You might have to log back into the router to anally connect again. However, given that you are in a 10 day training period (assuming he rested was performed) I'd leave things well alone!
HTH and good luck!
