Right - engineer was here today at 8am and said there was nothing wrong with the line and that "noise is normal". Big sigh. I hope that what he said was that your line's sound "is normal" and not that "noise on the the line is normal". 
Can't believe this! Has been going on for months. Monthly bill = £160 (that includes unlimited landline calls, £160 all on mobile calls) yet my VoIP provider is just £45 for everything! Ouch! 
So still no progress.

He did say you'd get a slight humming sound if you're 3km from exchange 
Getting my ISP and my VoIP provider to have a look into it. It's mad!

What speeds, (connection and throughput), do you get?
Just that it only needs one engineer, (perhaps not fully independently), to declare your line not suitable for broadband, and you are dead. No broadband at all. As far as I know with no possibility of appeal.
So be careful.

What do you mean Roberto? Isn't it made compulsory by the government for everyone to have an internet connection (at least in NI)?

(atleast 2Mbps specifically) Am I right in saying your business is a restaurant? And is the line registered in your business' name, as a business line?
Have you tried using a 2Wire HGV2700 (a.k.a. a BT Business Hub)?

You may be thinking of this announcement, but I read that as an overall aspiration. Not a legal requirement to supply to "all". Even in England it is possible for any particular line to be ruled out, though I don't know the conditions under which that can happen.
I have seen at least two people here in the last few years complaining to BT time after time about their line, until an engineer just called time on it.
Having said that, I don't expect you are anywhere near that point. But you need to be aware it can happen, at least on the mainland.

Yep restaurant & accommodation kinda' thing.
I have a 2wire (not sure on the model, the latest one that BT Business supplies) however it's on a residential line as that's what they put me on to begin with.

My only suggestion, here, would be to tell you ISP that you are trying to run a business and the residential service with which you have been provided is not coping . . . your business is suffering, as a consequence.
If needs be, see if your local MP would be willing to ask questions in the right places.
