Persistent Issue - Loss of connection and noise on line

I seem to have the same issue every few months, after numerous visits from engineers it seems to go for a while then comes back to rear its ugly head.
This has happened on numerous routers, and I have had numerous engineers out, both "phone" engineers and "internet" engineers have checked the line and said the results have come back normal.
This happened when I had ADSL and has continued to happen after upgrade to FIBRE.
The issue I have is loss of connection, where I then have to go and reset the router to re-establish a connection. This can happen several times a week, or at its worst, several times a day.
The other issue I have is noise on the phone line. This only happens when the internet is connected and in use. It is a crackly noise and gets louder, but then can go completely silent, then comes back again. If the router is unplugged the noise disappears.
When the phone line is in use, the internet speed completely drops, until more often than not, the connection drops completely, and the red solid light is illuminated on the router. Sometimes it will reset itself after a short period, other times it gets stuck on this and requires a router reset.
I'm pretty sure this constant need to reset the router isn't normal and can't be doing anything good for my connection speed. I'm pretty sure on one occassion when the problem was fixed the noise level was adjusted at Plusnet's side and it seemed to improve things.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be? If any Plusnet techs are reading this, I replicated the issue at 11:14 hours when I had an incoming phone call. I raised a ticket on friday but haven't heard anything yet

Ok thank you. I take it they only need to go to the exchange rather than my property?
