Well anykind of noise interfering with the connection would make it lose sync right?
Remember it never actually loses sync it says "lcp is down"

Not necessarily; it may just make the line unable to pass any useful data but the sync may remain.

Ive had a couple on my ST 784 but only since the wife put up our christmas tree and two sets of lights.

Looks like you managed to dodge the load-balancing earlier then

I am also getting connection drops, usually around 20:00-22:00, had a few the other weekend at ~20:30 then ~21:30, and just had one now at 22:14.
Usually rock solid.

Maybe this is due to christmas all the people/houses with christmas lights between our phonelines and the exchange causing problems. The disconnections do seem rather random my router may make it 10 hours or 60 hours before disconnecting it's very random.
