Well I plugged the sky box back in this morning, and so far, the  
connections stayed up. So at the moment (subject to change of course), I'm  
deducing that it could actually be the crappy wired phone that has also  
been plugged in, either on it's own or combined with the sky box (without  
knowing how many "REN" I'm using up I don't know - yet - if it's that or  
the phones faulty). The line is definitely still intermittently crackling  
though!

to elimate the modem/router from the equation - Good to meet you as well  
Richie.
