My "NBN" FTTN modem keeps dropping out.

Hi y'awll,
A little help or ideas as to why are required.

On 15th Dec. last year, I decided to "upgrade" to the NBN.

Could only get FTTN.

Since then, the modem, doesn't matter if the computer is connected or not

has been experiencing, at random times, consistent 15 Minute drop outs for

various time periods during the day & night.

2 Optus techs have been out. = No probs with the old copper lines.

2 NBN Co. techs have also attended. = No probs with the copper lines.

The last NBN Co. tech checked & repaired all the pit connections & said. = No probs with the lines.
He even set the modem up at the point of entry & we watched it for about 50 Mins. = No drop outs.
He left at 5.15 PM after being in attendance for over 5 Hrs.
(He closed the report!)

BUT, at precisely 6.00 PM.....the modem dropped out.

This is an ongoing problem that no-one seems to know how to rectify.
In total, about 600 + drop outs since the changeover & makes my moderating task a whole lot harder.

The "node"/pillar is approx. 800 Metres away, adjacent to some houses.

Can anyone shed some light on it?
(Sorry. I shouldn't ask about shedding light in an Astro Forum.)

I cannot understand the 15 Min frequency of the drop outs.
Got my old electrician's/technicians brain absolutely stumped.

BTW...There are days/nights when I have exactly zero drop outs.

Ta muchly.

Regs, L..
