Last Week, an engineer has come and validated not due to set up at home and that most likely the exchange had issues.
All he did was look up issues in the area and got a warning that the exchange was experiencing sync issues - did not elaborate much further. Advised that if issue persists, best to re-escalate.
However, today I had a total of 20 drops within 2 hours, completely rendering any continuous network connectivity activities useless:

(according to router logs which are completely filled with DNS name resolution errors).
Is this something TalkTalk could escalate at the exchange?
Connection seems to have stabilised around 5:20pm but I'm still concerned that this is happening after 2 previous engineer visits within the last 3 weeks.
Another engineer has been scheduled to visit - not sure to validate what though as there has been no change with the set up since the engineer last visited.

Hi Kenso
How are you getting on, do you still need help with this?

Good morning,
Thanks for the update. It would be worth testing the replaacement router to see how this compares and to see if there is any improvement.
Thanks

Hi Karl
An engineer has taken a look and replaced our main socket with NTE5C socket, and previous installation had a capacitor which was probably cause of the instability.
Taking the new router, is that expected to have any potential upsides, compared to my 3 year old one? would it be a good idea to replace the router anyway with a new one, given the existing router connection is now stable?

Hi
All usual line tests are clear, but I can see drops in the connection.
I've a router on the way to you, so that hardware can be ruled out. If drops occur with the new router, then the next option is to arrange an engineer for you.
Thanks
Karl.
