There is a heap of audible noise on the phone now.

Fault has been logged with Hellstra, they did a test from their end, found a fault but couldn't pinpoint where. The bloke on the phone said he has escalated to a specialist team (whatever that means).
I have had the same problem a couple of times. It's usually in the junction pit down the road a little. The tech pulls out the mess of lines, drains the water of mine and puts it to the top of the pile then shoves it all back in. Works until the next person complains and it gets shoved back down again.

I was one of the first in this area to take up adsl2+ was 17megabit consistently. Now a good day is 10megabit with as low as 3 when really congested.
NBN can't come soon enough!
