Connection drops and very slow

My broadband has been unusable for the past four days - drops a few times an hour and very slow when it is up. Used the troubleshooter and notified the fault early on Wednesday but have had no response from the fault team. Could you investigate, please? Thank you.

Thanks.
This is what was found:

Summary - Connection not testing LTB and ILQ is A. Connection is dropping quite heavily. SNR is low but download speed on the line is high.
Next Action - Will raise for SFI.

I'm using my own Vigor 120 and Airport Express. Would it be sensible for me to check these first before having an engineer out or does the above suggest a fault in the line?

If you're able to test alternative equipment it is advisable, or test your equipment at another property.
