Connection intermittently dropping

I've been using plusnet for a couple of years no problem, I have a pretty expensive Netgear nighthawk router and it's plugged into the master phone socket.
Recently in the last few weeks my connect seems to be dropping out, only for a few seconds but enough to be really annoying. When I say drop out i mean the light on the router which says the internet is connected goes red for about 20 seconds and then it comes back again. This has been fine for about 2 years til now.
Is there any way of plusnet support checking my connection history from that end to see if there have been any drop outs or if there's a problem with my line?
Thanks,
Greg

Hiya Greg.
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing connection problems.
We're definitely seeing a lot of drops over the past 30 days and line tests are showing a potential external fault "Impairment in copper joint detected most likely in local network. Please continue to submit a trouble report" so I've raised this with our suppliers now and we'll update you when we know more.

I certainly hope it doesn't take weeks or months, but sadly it's not uncommon.
I'd expect an engineer to go out to further investigate within the next few days. Fingers crossed they find something wrong they can fix quickly.
