Dad's just moved in to a property in the sticks and had an issue with
line noise on PSTN, BB was fine with occasional disconnects. They
changed wires on the pole and noise has gone. BB line was fine for a
few weeks but now constant disconnects and downstream noise goes from
+10 to -10 up and down. Downstream speeds also drop as low as 160kbps,
though upstream stays constant at 400kbps. Lines all tested as not a
home fault and BB engineer out tomorrow. If they take the home phone
off the hook and leave it off the hook the BB line stays pretty
stable! Hang up and the disconnects start again, give or take a little
time. Ding any bells?

Nothing I've ever seen before.

Wet wiring?

Try ringing your phone for a bit and see how it is afterwards.
