Draytek 2850 keeps dropping connection after working for a month

I am not using the BT modem or PlusNet router, but just use the Draytek Vigor 2850n. The usual settings, VLAN 101 for VDSL, ensure display name is empty (which causes a 'No response from server side' error) and it has been running smoothly.
This has only started happening the last week or so. The other thing I noticed is that when it reconnects, the up and downstream vary quite a bit each time. Could that be an indication of the cause of the problem? Issues with the line? Surely the fact it has been working perfectly for weeks means this is some external cause?
It doesn't always reconnect straight away, and then displays a 'PPP shutdown' message, sometimes followed by a 'No response from server side' message.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Something is definitely causing your service to drop connection:

If it's not the router itself then it's definitely something between that and your local green box. I'd recommend running through the faults troubleshooter at http://faults.plus.net - if the tests there don't highlight the issue and help resolve it it'll raise a ticket through to our faults team who'll be able to get it sorted for you.

I will run through the faults troubleshooter once I'm home and take it from there. Can I run through the faults troubleshooter whilst the DrayTek is connected? Or will I need to hook the BT modem and Plusnet router back up?
Cheers,
Wim

I didn't finish the fault report last night, as it had been up for about 8 hours or so and was hoping it had 'automagically' been resolved. Alas, this wasn't the case.
The upstream number on the line (showing when disconnected) seems to now have dropped to 9998 Kbps and the downstream number to 59985 Kbps, where it used to be 19000 Kbps and 79000 Kbps initially (for the past month or so) before the disconnects started.
Cheers,
Wim

I'd agree that things do look better but there still could be an issue according to what we can see:

My advice at this stage would be to just keep an eye on things for now over the next 24/48 hours and give us a shout on here if you'd like to see a more up to date connection graph as per what myself and Matt have posted for you. Obviously if there is still an issue at that stage you can just go back and complete the steps on the fault checker.

Thanks, yeah that sounds sensible. It will provide us with a bit more sample data and a general idea of whether things are getting better, worse or staying the same.
Will post back in the next 24/48 hours.
Cheers,
Wim

Could you please post an up-to-date connection graph?
There have definitely been several disconnects again.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Wim

OK - I will go through the faults checker and report the issue there.
Cheers,

Thanks if there is an issue relating to the line itself our testing should pick that up.
Do any of the disconnections here tie-in with when you've used the phone?

Yes, there are a few of them bunched together on the Sunday early afternoon, where I just picked the phone up, put it back down, saw the disconnect, waited for an established connection, and did a few of those roundtrips (also with different phones - all equipped with ADSL filters).
The last one on the Sunday wasn't anything to do with any phone interaction though.
Also the ones this morning at 7:30 and 9:00 were nothing to do with the phone. And note that we've answered some calls yesterday (line crackling a lot) that did not cause a disconnect.
Thanks,
Wim
