Constant Disconnects

Over the last week I have been suffering with disconnections from the internet which last about 1-2 minutes, the modem always stays synced.
I have my own router a billion 8800NL so to check it wasnt that I have been useing the openreach modem, this seemed ok for a couple of days until today and have started getting disconnections again.
Can you check the line please and if there appears to be a problem i will put in a ticket.
This is when my billion was connected on the 28th feb.
My Broadband Ping
This is when my openreach modem is connected today.
My Broadband Ping
This is from the 23rd Feb the day before the problems started and what it normally looks like.

This is from the log on my billion router:

Re: Constant Disconnects

I have been suffering in the same way for weeks. For about 2 mins it loses signal.. You go nowhere but the connection is still synced. Even purchased a new  vdsl modem. Sometimes it happens at predictable times in the hour. All the firmware has been updated. It's almost as if it's a DNS issue. Lease time has been set properly.
At my wits end trying to solve it.
Do you have a wireless  access point attached? My modem is wired and has 2 Ethernet plus one Access Point. There is never more than a wireless ap and one Ethernet connection at any given time. More often than not its just the wireless ap.
It all worked until a few weeks ago.
I am currently on gateway pcl-ag08
