Anyone on Vodafone BB/landline having connection issues and strange foreign calls to Voda mobiles?

Phone and FTTC keeps dropping, initially thought they were tinkering with the local box but its been going on a while now
and we have started getting foreign calls from Leeds and London. Foreign language that just keeps repeating itself.

Seems a strange coincidence. Anyone else getting similar issues?
Thanks

    Last time I checked Leeds and London were both in this country.  How can they be foreign?
    Or do you mean you're getting a bunch of calls in a foreign language?  These are easy to deal with, just don't answer them.
    Contact the provider for connectivity issues in the first instance (change your filters though first if you've got any) and failing that they'll pass it onto Openreach who actually do all the "tinkering" on the BT network.

    Yes foreign language as i said, message about 15 seconds that repeats over and over.  :)

    Numbers added to the block list but seemed strange that 2 mobiles ring within minutes with the same message.
    Wonder if Voda had been sending service messages out but sent them in the wrong language?

    Another note: Spammers seem to be on overtime tonight. I have a feeling this forum will suffer this weekend.
    Banned a few new accounts and some spam they were obviously testing the waters to see how long they will
    last before getting removed.
