Hello all
I had an issue and was wondering if anyone else has seen it, or knows what it is.
I get line noise only when the adsl is either connecting or connected. I am UK based (be internet) (adsl2+) and tried lots of things.
I tried only plugging in the adsl, and a brand new phone purchased to test the problem, still no joy and get the noise and dropouts. i tried the master socket with a new microfilter (tried 2 others, so not a double filter fault as cant all be faulty). i replaced the little cable going into the socket from the modem and last of all i have tried 3 different modems. A linksys, the speedtouch and a netgear ( all ethernet routers).
I had a bt engineer out about the noise and he found nothing, but then i discovered it was caused by the adsl after he left... doh!!, spoke to him on the phone again and he said nothing he can do as line and broadband engineers are differently trained.
Anyone know of anything to possibly try. The modem sits stable at times on 6db, but we need to go to 16db to stay stable most of the time. thought it may be wet weather, but dont know. just seems to be very very frustrating.
