Gentlefolk,
I thought I'd post these pictures of a Thompson TG 784 and 2Wire 2700 HGV to illustrate helpful data (and higher sync speed) with the 2 Wire and in case anybody had any thoughts on any other useful diagnostics we might try to help BT O with this long running fault on a long line.
The evidence we have is that the 17070 Option 2 Quiet Line Test produces a low volume double tick, about every second, similar in frequency to the "Ring Ring" frequency and that on about 50% of the attempts doing a 17070 Option1 Ring-back test both modems loose sync.
Note that the 2 Wire gives estimates of an actual line attenuation and, more importantly, provides timed records of the failures from re-boot time.
(If I were to enter the authentication data the time would be shown in GMT.) I am assuming the errors it reports are Loss Of Signal time limits, but just what that time is I know not.
Kind regards,
Walter
