Me again. Disconnecting as usual, nothings changed...

Question

Me again, you might remember me from my earlier posts. I have pretty much lost hope of ever having a stable connection while at this residence. (And I feel sorry for whoever moves in here, if they do not know either). I do still get annoyed a bit when it disconnects a lot, but I've really got quite used to it. I've found a couple songs on iTunes that basically match up to the length of time that it takes to reconnect, so they've got quite a playcount.
The number of disconnections I have had has gone up and down over the past few months. In the last few weeks for example it has been quite low, however in the past few days it has become pretty much unbearable again. I've had at least 30 in about 3 hours, and as I was trying to play an online game with friends, this was pretty much impossible for me to do. I can probably accurately blame it on the weather (snowing badly on and off) for this wave of badness, but who knows for sure.
I have seen recently a lot of activity at the 'box' at the end of the road, with many Openzone vans turning up and leaving at the end of the day. But nothing ever comes of it, obviously. I don't know what they are doing (whether it is to do with my connection or not).
It's quite an interesting yet annoying situation I am in, as it appears that it's the wiring in my residence and not anything that BT can do anything about without relaying the cost back to myself. When I see on the TV how BT and Virgin are unveiling 'super-fast fibre optic technology' I just chuckle to myself (seeing as my exchange wont be getting it until at least next year, if not the year after. I'll hopefully be gone by then). Seems that they can afford to invest millions into rolling out fast speeds all over the country (just not my part, hehe) but wont pucker up the ~£150 it would probably cost to solve my problem. Life goes on, eh?
Don't really know why I'm posting this, just thought I would. You'd be surprised how funny my situation can be when you have people round, hoggin your broadband, and then it just cuts out. "Oh, whats happened? Internet connection's gone?" First world problems hehe.
I'll post stats and all that if you really want me to. I have the OLD master socket thing, so no test socket. Made that discovery to my annoyance. BT Homehub 2.0 Software version 8.1.H.U (Type A). No BT Phone active. Don't know if BTFON or whatever it is called is active (that thing that uses your connection for all BT customers blah).
EDIT: I've talked many times with the mods and other BT people, and they never seem to find a fault with their part. Which is why the theory of it being my home wiring is probably correct.
