Checking new line was wired correctly
« on: June 26, 2017, 09:58:59 PM »

Hi all,

I had a new line installed today and I just wanted to check it's been done correctly. The engineer crimped some telephone cable (it looks to be twisted pair BT cable) to the two spare wires in the back of the NTE5 and then ran a small cable to a master socket next to it and wired it up.

Looks good to me, is that all as it should be?

Sounds like the run of the mill pair swap to me no major changes

Basically, the second pair of your incoming service feed (either underground or an aerial drop) has been used to implement the second circuit.

As has already been stated it's a perfectly normal situation. (b*cat waves paw, in acknowledgement, towards u*zone and N*Star.)

Ah so he's going for FTTC bonding with two lines ?

No. If I've remembered correctly, G*E*net has changed CP, from TalkTalk to BT Wholesale based. The migration was not faultless . . . TalkTalk refused to release the telephone number and so, after complaints, BT installed a new line.

Come to think of it, you replied in that other thread! Now where is it . . . Ah, yes, here it is:D

Good to hear it's all been done as it should be. And by an MJ Quinn engineer no-less!

Unfortunately not, TalkTalk screwed up unfortunately.

I will be able to compare the two lines though for a short period.

It was your wording in bold that made me think of a bonded line coming into use at some point  :doh:

Yes, sorry, I can see that my somewhat sloppy wording could imply that interpretation.  :-[

For better or for worse, you will be in a position to observe any cross-talk between the two services. If you have two modems (or modem/routers), each with a Broadcom chipset, then interesting data may be obtainable. For such experiments the two modems and the DSLAM will only need to be synchronised, i.e. in "showtime mode".

In theory there shouldn't be any since I have vectoring on my cabinet.

I would still be inclined to perform the relevant experiments. Then you will be in a position to verify (or not verify) the theory.  ;)

I will do so, for science!  :P
