Hi guys,
so how this all ended up?
As I contacted my ISP on 29 of July in the morning they contacted me back in the afternoon informing me that they noticed problems with the line and they send out a technician to check the line in person at the location the next day.
On the 30th of July, I got a call from the technician which was inspecting the line that the line (wires leading to my household) is bad and that they will need to dig them up. As they were busy at other places at the moment they were supposed to show no early than on Friday (2nd of August). Later on that day, I received another call with him stating that the line is not THAT bad and if he could stop by and check the cables in my household.
When he showed up he found out that one of my cables was faulty and when we replaced it, the connection got better in terms of stability. He also noticed some sort of electrical noise present in my house and stating that it could be caused by some electrical device. And then he left.
In the next two days, I was able to find out that a LED Driver powering my LED strips in my kitchen was the cause of the noise. As I swapped it with replacement one the noise got mostly away. At that stage, I was able to sync up to 56/10 Mbit with my old modem (DSL-AC55U) stable enough for the line to not drop out anymore.
At this point, I thought that it’s all solved, but I received a call on Monday (5th of August) that there might be interruptions of the internet connection as they will be digging and replacing some part of the line in the street. When they finished they told me that one of the underground joints was fried by a lightning strike in a recent thunderstorm.
And at this point, I am back at 56/10 Mbit with a 2-3 dB SNR and without dropping the connection again which is the most important thing to me.
