Well finally sorted out. Last engineer came and said I was on a "split connection and was now fixed". Well not quite as in doing so he cut off my neighbour!
Any way my neighbour (plusnet) had to call out openreach who reconnected him and all seems ok at last.

Yeah we had that a little while back when the engineer dropped the shell/shield that covers the cables which was in one hand and some cables in the other, and the result was several cables disconnected, and we ended up being on each others lines for a few days.
Have also been of split pairs for 2 days.

There is a massive disconnect between what openreach enginners say and what I was being told by the indian call centre.

Well BT always say take no notice what their engineers say, but I have noticed where the engineers are the ones actually doing the work they would know more than the support people.
But it all down to what's being said.

I had good support from the uk BT care office but you have to run through treacle to get it.
Conclusion, BT is a good product when things are working but let down by appalling customer support.

Well I normally use the number ending in 150 for the basic stuff like resetting our line etc, but for reporting issues and faults I use a different number that I was given that always gets answered by a person in the UK.

how did you get those detailed line stats out of a Home hub 4 as I didn't think it was possible?

AFAIK you can't get the full line ADSL stats from the HH4.

Strange how the OP posted his from a HH4

The only details that I can get on the HH4 is Troubleshooting -> Helpdesk.

Paul

Go to Troubleshooting > Event Log > Set Category to "WAN"
If you scroll down you will see Up and Down Rates and SNR

I thought they wanted the Helpdesk information.

Yep I found that but not seen the attenuation info etc

The HH4 won't display that, it only displays the Noise Margin for the up and down streams.

As moonpie points out, most of the stats are in the OP, and full connection stats in this post.

IIRC ADSLx stats are available from the HH4. Just not FTTC stats for the simple reason it doesn't have a VDSL2 modem built in.
