For *my* FTTC I've had occasional cases where an NTD reboot was needed 
(~1/year), however much more frequent appears to be cases where one of 
my neighbours bounce their NTD (for whatever reason) the micro-DSLAM 
seems to reboot for a multi-minute outage.

I'm seriously right about at the point where I might put in an order to 
get someone else to dig fibre in[1] since there's enough evidence that 
NBN simply choose not to care about multiple multi-minute outages a day 
so I've not even bothered trying to call a fault on it.

has fibre near me, I'll reach out to contacts I already have if I end up 
deciding to try.
