Hi,
Thought I would update and ask for any ideas other thatn return to the dark ages lol
So "voice" engineer came (same guy that came before for broadband) told me that the noises were "normal broadband sounds" ran tests that said all normal. However he then went outside & found a wire was shorting just up the road cut it out & then changed over the copper pair anyway.
I have not noticed the intermittent noise since but the "broadband noises" are still there.
My connection held for 1 day but now intermitently drops again so no chance of speed increases!
I did notice that when I briefly had a speed increase the other day the Upstream stats stabilized as well but then returned to the normal fluctuations when my profile was dropped to 350kbps.
I have tried the REIN test with the radio & have used three different routers/filters/ADSL wires as I said before.
Dont know what to do now as i just received notification from my isp that Bt have raised charges of £95 + VAT for the two previous FAILED broadband engineer visits.
Next I guess BT will be looking to charge for the voice one as well even though he found a shorting out wire up the road!
Any ideas? At this rate it will be cheaper to get one of those Super wifi connections designed for remote areas. (where you have an arial on your house)
