Added to that, if you are on FTTN there is the added layer of something warm and brown that comes from recycling a practically moribund network the basis of which originates 50 years before the internet and trying to make it serve! In NBN land it is known as NodeLotto. To a smaller extent that applies to HFC as well.

Your speed and stability suggests FTTN?
If you are lucky it is only 50 years young! When my area went live, I complained about line noise, so they replaced a large chunk of the copper from the pillar to the pit. Then the pit flooded, and they replaced the copper to the boundary. Because of the node distance, I still only get 30/12, but it is consistent.

Good old NodeLotto. At work I won, but at home, I'm a long way off.

My RSP changed their backhaul provider, because there were a lot of the problems you are describing, Brian. Since then, those problems have vanished. I have set up 4 connections using them, and all report stable speeds and connections. I think your problem starts with a capital 'T'!
