Whilst I'm online, here's another success story - the broadband connection: whilst I can't say it's been absolutely reliable, it has now lasted seven whole days with only two disconnects in between. Unfortunately, I rebooted the PC the other day, but still have some details of the line stats. They show an interesting picture, clearly indicating over two days between resets.
The SNR had actually dropped to 4 occasionally without killing the line - the figures I have show resets occurring while the SNR was of the order of 8 or so, so I'm glad I didn't let O2 support persuade me to alter the threshold.
All in all, a lot better than six resets per hour, so kudos to O2 Support. Even if I did have to argue with them on at least three separate occasions to get the firmware update.
Now, can I have the .3 upgrade, see if that improves speed as well as reliability?
