Sorry for not acknowledging various people's suggestions on this one. I'm working through it all.

Re: [Hampshire] [OT, I suppose] Router
Why not disconnect the domestic circuit from the main BT box and then connect the router to see if the fault persists. If it doesn't the fault lies in your domestic circuit so you can methodically work your way through the circuit connecting parts until the fault re-occurs. If the fault persists with nothing but the router connected and you are confident that the router is OK then it probably is a BT fault.

That's what BT Broadband would get you to do before they sent out an engineer. If your main phone socket has an unscrewable fromt plate, undo that and plug the router directly into the socket under the plate (that will disconnect your domestic wiring).
