Thanks, WWWombat.

DLM hasn't taken any action yet which is slightly surprising.

There are more downstream CRC errors since 00:00 today than yesterday suggesting that whatever is causing the interference has made it worse. If DLM does make intervention, I will report a fault.

Prevention > Cure

Ok. Moving on...

So, did the audible noise on the phone line get worse when the broadband started disconnecting? If it did and you still have noise then log a phone fault. If you don't want to do that then little point in telling us when it goes down.

It did increase but not enough to warrant reporting a fault. Guys, I don't want to be a PITA, but I want to see this fault evolve for my own understanding. It is my connection and yes of course if the fault starts to become worse or more frequent. Thanks.

If DLM bands the line because of the problems and you only report a phone fault then you may end up with the fault cleared and banding stuck for good. Barring more wizardry , which may not work next time.

I would get it sorted ASAP.

I know this may seem strange, but I find watching a fault develop quite interesting and in no way am I ignoring your advice, I thank you very much for it.

So my assumption is that you don't actually want any advice or information from people here and just want to share your experience? Personally I think it is mad - I don't sit there with a red light on my car dashboard waiting to see what blows up, I go to the garage and get it fixed. Presumably you are fine with the fact that once the fault does fully develop you might be without Internet for a week waiting for an engineer to arrive?

That's a very wrong assumption. Please read my previous post.

I am going to report the fault today if DLM decides to make changes to my line.

Perhaps. But, your responses to posters saying you want to see how it develops rather than getting it fixed were certainly heading down that route. Even now you are only going to report it if it gets worse despite the fact you say you have a notable fault. If that's what you want to do then fine but it suggests anything we advise is a waste of time as you want to see the fault itself rather than get it fixed.
