As far as I know there is no mechanism which will force Openreach to replace a line where the phone works and the cost to fix the broadband is prohibitive

I have player a little since christmas and removed the BT modem and replaced with my dreytek
Ove the last few weeks the sync download speed has come down from around 18mbs to 15mbs upload still the same
BUT
The overall user experience is better the link is up and stable for longer periods at a time I have seen up to 250 hours connection time
There is no question there is some strange with the line and probably intermittent and therefore difficult to find
Plusnet and BT have washed their hands of the issue, FACT
This is not good

If they really have washed the hands of it, then the only possible recourse seem to be Which? magazine or your MP.
I recall that back in the 1960s the idea of sending anything other than 3kHz speech down a telephone line to subscribers' premises was considered to be absurd, so the sort of speeds that are being sent down these lines is nothing short of amazing. Fibre to the premises is the only solution that engineers in the 1960s would have thought suitable for the job, which is one of the reasons why a lot of research labs were working on fibre. But there are many locations where fibre may never happen. That leaves us with radio to the premises, either via terrestrial networks or satellite, or possibly mesh networks or something like Fon https://corp.fon.com/blog/#.Ut5dIZBFCdI
For the early days, see http://www.alecharleyreeves.com
I am really surprised at video on demand, as it uses so much resource compared to broadcasting. In practise if not theory, a single transmitter can feed any number of receivers, but the more people connect on line to a popular TV program in a given area, the slower the speed becomes.
