Ms Freeola are dealing with this currently, but we're both running out of options.

My line has been dropping and resyncing every few minutes since the beginning of the month.

I've tried the Test socket, no difference. I've tried double filtering, removing the Sky box. No difference. I've tried my standby router, no marked difference. I even went and spent £60 on a brand new Belkin F5D8636-4 v2 yesterday. The lines *still* dropping, although the resyncs seem to be connecting faster.

BT say they can't find any fault on the line.

I have asked Freeola to invoke a stability option on my line to see if that makes any difference.

Could my ethernet cables be responsible for the line drops? I haven't yet tried swapping those out.

Could my software firewall cause the router to resync?

Any ideas (at all)?

Had a similar problem about 9 months ago....have you tried updating your ethernet drivers? At first I considered Freeola etc etc etc etc as you have done, but because the connection kept 'cutting' and then 'reappearing' I re-installed the ethernet drivers....but to no avail :¬(

However, on updating the drivers....problem solved :¬))
