I suspect BT, I've had similar, and found that ringing in (from a mobile)
then dialling Demon helped. Knowing you, I don't suppose you've fiddled to
break it, so it's most likely them.

Try listening to the line for noise, on my line it was so bad, even BT
faults didn't ask what the problem was. It tended to be worse when it
rained as well.
