Random disconnections still persistent with interleaving switched on.
I am in desperate need for any ideas to help me sort my annoying internet problem out?
I have been getting several disconnections a day for the last 2-3 weeks. PlusNet have activated interleaving on my phone line and the problem persists.
I had the the same problem a year ago and after three BT engineer visits the line dropped only was a day, which wasn't so bad. I do not have the time for this too happen all over again.
I am running directly from the master socket, the BT open reach engineer installed a proper microfilter which is directly connected to the master socket. I have tried other microfilters and the problem persists. I cannot hear any crackling on the phone line. My downstream SNR drops to 1db at random intervals and rises to a maximum of 15db.
My IP profile seems to change every other day and sometimes drops down to a pathetic 150kbs. Somestimes the sync is higher but the connection speed is still nearly as slow as dial-up.
If the problem with my internet cannot be sorted out sooner rather than later, I will have to reluctently ditch my BT line completely. I cannot tolerate this every year.
PlusNet customer services have been great, the problem is obviously down to some inferior BT equipment somewhere down the line. I am hoping they will swap my wire at the exchange like they mentioned last time.

I have just got the above.Below was my test before that.
No loss of sync for 24 hours, just reset router and download speeds are much improved. Looking like its a problematic router after all. 
I will give it a couple more days and I can finally close my ticket. I just cant work out on why my routers all seem to malfunction after a few months use.
Would a surge protector on my adsl line cause any problems with my stats?
Thanks Mick for mentioning about the possibility of a router problem.
