    It's troubling that he didn't use his kit to determine the location of the actual faulty joint. All the line pairs are going to take a very similar routing and if that includes a chamber that is liable to fill with rainwater the new pair will go through that too. The joints should be watertight anyway of course but clearly yours (and mine back in the day) weren't. Every section of my line was supposedly swapped but that didn't fix my issue.

    That seems to have been a prescient reply.

    After 2 months of trouble free operation we had quite a lot of rain on Monday and I had numerous broadband disconnections. The rain has now stopped and the line has stabilised for now.
