ADSL query: what does this mean?

Recently my ADSL has been dropping out very frequently. This is what my router status page looks like when this happens.



I'm no adsl pro, but that looks like noise on the line. Now, all the used sockets have microfilters on, all the microfilters work, and this happens roughly once a day for about 1-2 hours, and has been happening for the past week.

Is this my ISP? It's the notorious F2S, part of Pipex I do believe. Or could it be a dodgy BT line?

Please help if you are able :)
 
from that page, i'd say your router is on the fritz mate. 34dB attenuation but like 2 billion or something dB margin, thats insanity.

Do you know what, I think you're right. I retired to bed last night after it wouldn't pick up again. Just woke up, checked, and it was STILL down. Reset the router, and back to normal...for now.

Thanks very much for the help clarkey, I'm amazed you could look at that and immediately pinpoint the problem.
 
Yeah I've seen Netgear routers do that with early firmware revisions. Have you had a look to see if there's a firmware upgrade for your Linksys model?
