Also its not random , its approx the same time each evening 6.30pm till 10pm for myself and some VM neighbours.

Do you know for sure it doesn't happen at other times?

Could be something like a power issue at the green box or the UBR end or something. Maybe even just water getting into the box.

As broadbandings says - looks like a noise issue, keep phoning tech support until you get someone who knows what they are doing and will check the relevant tool.

update :
First off the tip to use Newsgroup Support was awsome.
I have got more help in 1 day than in 1 year ..
Apparently its a known issue and is now being looked into , Ive finally got a refrence number and have the engineers on the case.

Good bye to VM's Fonejacker Call Centre , Ill be using the Newsgroup in the future (those guys on the NG's know their stuff) , though i have to admit apart from this problem with loseing connection 6 till 10 i rarely have other issues.

Thanks to all who helped me with this problem , I shall surely troll these forums frequently just out of leisure if thats ok
