After have a slow but relatively problem free year with BT, in the
last 3 days I have had 6 line drops, more in 3 days than in the last
year.
Are BT having problems?

Possibly. I have noticed on the Sky forums that people are reporting
more dropouts. Do a good search about Internet Drop outs, it should
set you in the right direction. Its not really worth posting the same
information again.
Or you could wait a few days. There may be work being done at the
exchange like upgrading your exchange for WBC, BT upto 24mbps
services. Your line may just be being knocked and pulled and that may
make it drop out.

& then again it could be your line deteriorating, or your filters are 
playing up.

Now is the time to check what your connection is like from the test socket 
of your NTE, if it's still dropping sync, check you logs for errors etc & 
check your SNR or if it's a Hub your SN.

If it doesn't play up it's your own wiring/filters etc, if it still does, 
beg borrow or steal another router see if that's as unstable, if not you 
need a new router if it is then contact the infamous support line  & report 
a fault.  Don't sit on the problem until you loose sync permanently if 
you're getting warning signs now.
