Unsure it is the same thing, KB.  It is not unusual for my line to be 
dropped a number of times in an evening.  I've had five drops in total today
- around 3 and 6 am, around 6pm another at 19:40 and one at 21:51.

They seem to have 'settled down' into that pattern - two in the early hours and 
three in the evening - some nights simply feel worse than others because I'm doing 
engaged in something over t'Internet.  Sometimes it actually is worse. 

Thanks anyway.  I just checked the bethere status page and there was an unplanned
outage at Longfield, near Dartford this morning until lunchtime.  
I'm too far away from that.

Regards
