Well after numerous delays an "engineer" finally made it on sixth attempt
The guy went through usual tests and usual answer was its testing ok. I asked about the data showing drops and he agreed it was not normal when phone was used so went of to put me on a different copper at the cab.
He was preparing to leave and I asked about the faceplate which still had the broadband and phone lines in the test socket. He said it would be ok like that
and I pointed out I wanted it replacing and also mentioned the Mark2 model. He said he thought mine was a mark 2 and almost denied hearing of them at which I said I was rather disconcerted, so he went to van and came back with a mark 2. As the line still showed drops he said it would need new equipment and went of again saying the line would be out again for a while which it didnt. in the meantime BT India called trying to speak to engineer but his phone was going to voicemail.
Engineer returned saying they could not find fault but would be monitoring it along with some other points about the data recorder I was using not being common or somesuch. Anyway I chaecked routerstats this morning and now I have noise on my quiet line and all manner of extra activity without my even using the phone
Ive contacted the BT exec chap I am getting assistance from for his thoughts. Anyone have views on this scenario?
