My router has dropped the VDSL connection around 5 times in the last week, after months of being rock solid. As a result, DLM has kicked in, and my speed dropped from 79999 to 74000, with attainable rate dropping from 125000 ish, down to 87000 ish. I'm currently on the 'd5' firmware, as 'd7' didn't seem to support vectoring (didn't manage to perform the 'clean' test that you asked me to do Billion_Fan). Below is the log extract.

There must be something going with the line or exchange if the router was working fine on the same firmware for months. (routers don't normally start dropping out unless there is something wrong with the line or at the exchange) The system log does state much unfortunately.

Unfortunately, the 'd10' firmware hasn't fixed the issue. How can I find out whether it's a modem problem, or cabinet / exchange problem?

Well from the first log we saw
Feb 11 02:25:28 kern warn kernel: bcmxtmcfg: Connection DOWN, LinkActiveStatus=0x0 = this means the line dropped out
Feb 11 02:27:33 kern crit kernel: Line 0: VDSL2 link up, Bearer 0, us=19999, ds=73998 = means the device resynced
On the second log we don't see the same messages which will indicate a drop in the PPP connection only

Hi Billion_Fan,

What's the implication of this? Is it more likely to be the exchange?
Yep, the router won't disconnect the PPP without intervention, so it might be a problem at the exchange, keep a eye on it (the next time it happens try to check to the logs to look for a line re-sync), as it seems they might have fixed the line drop, but still have issues with the PPP dropping
