connection dropping every night

at around 7:30pm for around two hours. this has been happening for
about 2 weeks now.

the box on the wall was replaced because it came loose. when the
engineers replaced the box, they put some sort of adapter on the cable
going into the modem saying it was something about the ocnnection being
too strong.

ever since then, the connection drops at around 7:30pm every single
day.

i looked at the modem status page (192.168.100.1) and the downstream
power level drops to around 0.01 dBmV where it finally quits out.

any ideas?

Christmas lights? There seems to be a lot of posts on adslguide for
similar things across various ISPs and lights have been mentioned a few
times.

No I don't understand why it should be, it just seems that it might be
off what I've read lately.

If it's happening on the button at 7.30 that suggests something on some
sort of timer to me, which suggests something electrical might be
interfering somehow?

Please clarify .....Cable Modem or ADSL?

If it's a cable modem just remove the attenuator, simple isn't it...

If it's ADSL then there ain't no such beast & the stronger the better

If it's a wireless link then there are a number of devices that use
the same frequency band, as mentioned here many times DECT
phones, to which add video senders and some wireless security
video/surveillance systems.
So maybe someone comes home and powers up a video sender,
and it swamps the wireless connection, and the signal on the
specific channel your wireless link is set for is swamped, causing
the reported level to drop right off.

RFI from flashing lights or those with a dodgy power supply.
