I have the BT/openreachNTE5 fitted by them two years ago when I first became interested in how the PC works
My then ISP tried to tell me that err dial-up speeds were okay. That is when I started trying to read here and TBB etc , removed ringwires as per the diagrams which caused a minor miracle then we decided to part the £150.00 to have it all done properly.
Brand new Belkin RJ11 high speed ADSL cable 1 metre length after isp said 'battery error' showing on their test equipment. 17070 opt 2 gives a decent line with occasionally the sound of waves breaking on the shore, bt test said line ok..
House phone not used except the odd-incoming call as use free calls on mobile

no correlation between the maybe twice a week incoming call and noise ...
No new electrical equipment bought plus I am very rural
As you may realise I am tearing my hair out here

I didn't post till I had done everything that the main-site and TBB etc says are the tests

So electrical interference, need maybe now to try another router as an option, plus new surge protector which is in plug beneath desk.
