This was two weeks ago, so I experienced the issue for a solid four months, and the line seems steady so far.
It seems that if I hadn’t pushed this far and remained so persistent then the issue would remain forevermore, eg until next hardware upgrade or a total hardware failure.
What I am waiting for now is a call back to discuss compensation for the service I was unable to use for 4 months, time taken off work for 3 engineer visits, purchase of two routers and loss of rental income for a month as my lodger moved out due to this issue- this was supposed to be Saturday or Monday but it’s Thursday evening now..
Good luck with a claim but as you don't have a business connection don't hold your breath.
Still nothing.. I called customer services today who said they could offer me £25. A bit insulting when I'm at least £550 out of pocket- £350 for days taken off for engineer visits, £100 on 3rd party routers and £100 for payments made while I had an unuseable service, not to mention to £550 of lost rent when my lodger left. Do BT not want to keep customers?
As @pippincp said you need a business connection/contract to be able to make that sort of claim

Perhaps you might want to put it in writing to BT?
Here is their Customer Complaints Code of Practice. The address to complain to is on Page 4.
