Hi there,

 

Whilst testing your line your router is in sync at a decent speed [that's below the estimates]

Sync Status In Sync
Downstream Speed 40.5 Mbps
Upstream Speed 9.3 Mbps

 

The test is detecting a possible fault which'll require an appointment

Description Impairment in copper joint detected most likely close to customer premises. Please continue to submit a trouble report.

 

I'd recommend running through the checks here and if that doesn't help then please complete the final step in the broadband troubleshooter as that'll report the fault to us so we can arrange an engineer visit.

Well.... it's now worse. Dropping out way more often than it was before.

Looking at your account, the number of drops is fairly minimal and I'm afraid likely wouldn't be classed as a fault:
