Yes, but seeing the whole shebang can give further clues.
Do you have any idea where the exchange is for this new line, does 60db seem about right ?

~3 miles

60db does seem correct, it syncs at about 3300 which is comparable to my work connection which is approximately the same distance (although on a different exchange).

The only thing I can think is that there's burst interference but I'm at a loss as to why DLM hasn't intervened with a higher SNR or Interleave, I even tried resetting the connection by pulling the plug 4 times in a couple of minutes, but it still didn't raise the SNR target.

Really? Any evidence?

Economy 7 heating systems?
AM Radio Noise Floor?
More TV/Plasma's on at night.

I suggest you look at the power usage for the UK in residential areas.

Emailed provider requesting a higher target noise margin?

On to them today, have exhausted everything I can do with regards to wiring and what not.

Yeah plenty. The minimum load is during the night between 2 and 4 a.m. when people are sleeping. That's when RFI is lowest.

Just wanted to check as for most people night is considered to start once the sun sets

Latest is that the second-line team rejected the case and therefore engineer visit.

They're now sending a 'different type of router' to see if it helps.

Sigh.

Fixed with the replacement Thompson TG582n router.

Odd.

TG582n - You can't beat a nice Broadcom chipset router if your line's poor quality

EDIT: Previous TBB discussion - seems a few ISPs rate this router:
