Given that you don't believe that DHCP is ok why are you so sure that the tech guys are correct saying that the cabling is fine, especially in light of how you originally reported this, as spiking upstream transmit power?

You do know that the local network engineers have absolutely no way of checking the 'spanning tree' on the DHCP servers, right?

Did you ever capture a report of how long one of the leases that the DHCP is giving you is?
I am only going with an email that i was sent by a second line support agent and a network engineer in swansea.

I have captured the leases and it tends to die around the time the leases are up, im never given the same lease time, its either 24hrs, 48hrs, 6 or 7days.
