I think Openreach have telemetry that can tell them if the link is up. eg
they can tell from which endpoints drop off whether it's a fibre break (and
where), or a power failure, etc.
They must have some kind of fuzzy matching for that, because I'm sure
individual endpoints go down because some people turn them off at night, or
unplug to do the hoovering, etc.
