Then call BT - the normal Consumer desk and not Openreach. They will do remote tests and book another engineer visit if necessary.

Networks are now extremely complex and sometimes problems are fixed and then return. It's a bit like diagnosing fueling issues on a modern diesel.

IMO going to the CEO is way OTT - people need to relax a bit and work with other people who are usually doing their best to hep you.

If you wish to bypass the BT network altogether, the only option really is Virgin fibre or one of the coax networks if they are available in your area.
The network belongs to Openreach and is "separate" from BT. Look at the vans that you see at the side of the road dealing with their plant, they are Openreach and so are the vans that come to your business and home to deal with fibre and copper issues, unless contractors are being used.
