I checked the BT Fault tracker & there were faults today for broadband, didn't mention my area though

There is a electronic road sign sitting right above the telephone cable at the moment, could it be that?

I really could not say. Hopefully the sign will soon be gone . . . once Tuesday 16th August arrives?  :-\

I doubt it, I think there's gona be substantial roadworks.

Couldn't be good that sign sitting there, the lights flash & it's got solar panels to charge the batteries - EMI emissions

I get rid of 1 problem another comes straight along

Ouch. And with one wheel removed it would not be an easy task to "relocate" that sign!  :-X

They have dug up the road between my cabinet & the exchange exposing the cables

I have been experiencing lower speeds & more noise since

Could this be because those with ADSL on my line are experiencing more noise on theirs?

I don't see how this work would affect my fibre cable

Your expanded Hlog plot looks quite satisfactorily smooth and without any major deformities.

Considering where the road-works have occurred in relationship to the PCP and its fibre twin, I would agree with your suggestion. It does appear that the elevated noise level, thus depressed SNR and synchronisation speed, is a secondary effect arising from those circuits carrying xDSL services of exchange origin.

You mention "exposing the cables". From my understanding of your description, I would be very surprised to know that the E-side cables were not ducted. Was there any evidence of ducting that had been broken away? Perhaps those exposed cables were DIG (direct in ground) D-side cables, as there is no logical reason why D-side cables should not travel in the direction towards the exchange. Considering the PCP to be just a marker on a map, D-side cables should be expected to radiate in a full 360 degrees from that point.

@burakkucat,

Thanks for your analysis, the problems never stop :(

The underground cables are ducted & buried directly in the ground, just the sides are exposed. I didn't notice any broken duct.

The exposed cables are exchange to PCP cables. I know because the route from the exchange to my house is pretty straight & the telephone poles are all on that side of the road.

Hmm . . .  :(  The only hope is that once all the road-works are complete, that the exchange-originating xDSL circuits revert back to their prior state and thus become less of disturbers to your own VDSL2 service.

@burakkucat,

hopefully once the road works stop & the cables are recovered things will improve.

I've just realised I have to monitor not just the broken street lights from the cabinet to my house but the street lights from the exchange to my house as the quality of the ADSL connections on my line affect my connection  :no:

Disconnection tonight, went out in the car to check the street lights

1 light out permanently, then when driving home all the street lights shorted out for a minute

So there's a big problem there  :(

Reported the fault

Hi Guys,

is there a large BT outage?

I reported a fault last week, it's still not fixed. Fault tracker said my line should be fixed tomorrow.

But a new fault for my town has been opened on the Service Status Faults page today, says it won't be fixed until Monday.

Getting a 3.5Mb on my HHB5 at the moment, intermittent
