Still have on and off problems with noise on the line, its so intermittant now have actually given up hope of Openreach ever fixing it properly.

So made the decision to downgrade the package I'm on with IdNet as its pointless paying for a package that the line clearly doesnt support even tho the checker says it does.

Openreach wont do anything as current sync speed falls in the (huge margin) of valid speed for my line (for info the margin for "ok" speed on my line that apparently "did" supports 50mbs is 25mbs to 50mbs!! - since the line is only stable at 25-30mbs it is within the range and they wont investigate further)

So basically IdNet are getting less of my money because Openreach wont fix the line. To obtain a stable line i have had to downgrade my package and make use of the stability adjustment feature of the Asus router to force a target snr of a "stable line". this is the only way I am able to sync and so far (touch wood) stay stable for the last 5 days at a rate of 33mbs.

One very annoyed Openreach/BT Wholesale line user here...
