Relentless dropouts on BT Fibre 2

[Fignuts]

My internet keeps dropping out, and incidentally the phone line is unusable because of the amount of noise on the line.

15 mins ago when it died completely again, I tried the "remove the faceplate and plug the phone into the test socket" and I got absolutely nothing, not even static, totally dead line.   But 5 minutes later it's back.   There are never any issues reported in my area when I check.   The hub needs restarting a couple of times a week minimum lately.

Download speeds have also been pretty abysmal lately, 800kb/s for a Steam download for instance, can't watch 1080p.

It's not all the time, I went through the labyrinth of BT help pages last week and a fault was raised I think, and it improved a bit, but it's just dropped again.   It does seem to come and go randomly.

Can anyone help further?

Last time I went through this a few years ago BT made me buy another hub, it didn't particularly help, on another occasion they sent an engineer out and they replaced a corroded junction box.

You need to report a phone fault not a broadband one.

Raise a fault report of no dial tone or a noisy phone line. Once that has been fixed, the broadband will get better.

That's what it was logged as last week - landline, can't make or receive calls.   The fault got raised, they've closed it now and claim it's fixed. 

Just plugged the phone in and no dial tone or anything (new BT phone bought 6 months ago specifically for testing the line with a known good phone).

I mention the broadband because tbh I don't even use the landline any more so it's the effect it has on the broadband that matters.

NB - last week I did at least have a dial tone and static on the line, this week I'm not getting anything.   Not even sure how I'm getting broadband if that's the case.

Then report the landline fault again. The broadband will not work properly if the landline is faulty.
