Networks will get back to him tomorrow with a definitive answer so if he says he doesn't know what is causing it ask him if he can start changing cables and connectors. Hopefully he will use his initiative and seek advice from his boss when networks say there can't do anything. After all, all of this reflects badly on him if you ring up and complain. Whatever you do don't let them fob you off saying they are going to monitor it over the weekend bla bla bla. You want any answer on Friday as to what course of action they are going to take.
Ok well at least then I am not wasting time by letting them pass it to networks.

Yeah he did that. He had an app that showed the status. When he arrived it was all red, then it turned green, then a few hours after he left it started happening again.

Last week the other engineer replaced everything and it went a week being fine before starting again.

This is part of the problem because the engineer does make it work. When they leave the signal strength/power is fine. All the checks pass. Then it starts again after they leave.

This time it's much worse though.
