The connection has stated playing up again becoming very unstable and dropping every minute sometimes. It only started happening again when it became much colder but I don't think there's any correlation since it's happened many times before. This time the stats seem bad which is probably why it's like it is.

Code:
DSL Status:	 UP 
DSL Modulation Mode:	 G.992.1 (G.DMT) 
DSL Path Mode:	 INTERLEAVED 
Downstream Rate:	 4384 Kbps 
Upstream Rate:	 960 Kbps 
Downstream Margin:	 2 db 
Upstream Margin:	 8 db 
Downstream Line Attenuation:	 47 
Upstream Line Attenuation:	 56 
Downstream Transmit Power:	 18 
Upstream Transmit Power:	 11 
LOS Errors:	 0

The Downstream Attenuation has been as high as 55 and the Downstream Margin is sometimes a little higher but rarely ever around the BT typical target of 6db. It's been as low as 1db before. The modem is connected to the master socket. Other than complain to the ISP there's not much else I think I could check. I'll look to see if the filters are OK but I'm guessing there's not much else?

ISP is TalkTalk (using ADSL Max I believe although TalkTalk is an LLU operator in the exchange) and the modem is an AM200.
