I raised this as question id 39258962, and had some useful response from Bob Pullen, who pointed to line drops and the possible necessity for a BT visit.
However - this has been dragging on for a week now, and nothing seems to be happening. typical stats:
download speedachieved during the test was - 642 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 200-1000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1056 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 750 Kbps
And from the router:

I get the problem every couple of months, with nothing changing inside my house. My question - what causes line drops, and can anybody with more technical knowledge than me (that's most!) help analyse the router stats?
TIA...Peter
