Is this something to be worried about? I still have an open ticket so I could add to that if PN think I have reason to. I don't want to over-react though if nothing is wrong. In case it was a known network problem, the disconnection was at 1:35am this morning and it reconnected at 1:39am. There is no evidence of a power failure in the house during the night, so that isn't the reason.
Thanks.

People are always contradicting me by the way - I'm used to that.

It would be nice to know a few facts about how DLM works with fibre, as all I can do is use logical guesswork. It gets frustrating when even some OR engineers don't have a clue about it and tell me it's the same as ADSL (the same one who thinks my distance to the exchange is a factor in my speeds!).

I can't comment on what's normal for FTTC but I certainly don't see disconnections on anything like a daily basis, more like monthly in my case (and most of these are due to me rebooting my router as I think it benefits from a reboot after such a time).
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

I wonder if all my disconnections since things being fixed (assuming they really have been) are actually the DLM. Things have been slowly speeding up and the pings get faster and faster. I can't imagine things will improve any more than this, so hopefully I won't get more disconnections from now on that aren't DLM related.

Just out of interest what kind of speeds are you getting (and do you know how far - by line route- you are from your cabinet)?

I didn't get an accurate number from the engineer for the length of my line, but he told me the route it runs underground, which would make it about 400 metres. I'm getting a max downstream of 73Mbps, upstream of 18Mbps (BT give a line speed of 77Mbps at the moment). So obviously very good and I'm very happy with it, providing it remains stable.
