Hi Chris, Been way too long for me as well with this kind of stuff. :-)
No outages that I am aware of, and as far as I know nothing has been swapped in the cabinet - but I dont exactly keep a daily record of activity around it. There has been cable pulling in nearby streets in recent weeks, although my dropouts seemed to coincide more so with some tiling work that I had done. The old socket and wiring was sitting on the floor of the utility cupboard, and was moved out of the way, but nothing appears to be damaged in any way, so may just be coincidental. Replacing the socket had been on my list of things to do for a long time, so I finally got around to that but even removing all of the old wiring and terminal blocks and having the lead in cable terminate directly on the new socket hasnt helped. Things have been much more stable with the HG612, but I still had a dropout overnight. Looks like Im already using the latest and greatest VDSL firmware too. Doh.
