Oh I see they have 2 (b/w) and 5 (w/b)
That's where it was getting confusing
I was going to put a plug on the end so it could be removed if it caused any problems but to be fair I don't think the extension was causing any problems in the first place it was just removed as part of the elimination process. My new BT business hub seems to have sorted the noise issues
my old router which I took to work as it was only affected by evening time noise packed up totally after a couple of week and my monitor also went kaput so chance are it was either or both.
I'll check which way round the extension is wired on the other box now I know it doesn't matter as long both are the same. What about the other 2 wires the O/W & W/O, if they are not connected on the extension should I terminate them or just cut them out you reckon? Also found this as well
http://www.adslnation.com/downloads/docs/XTE-2005_Guide.pdf Hopefully I can get my retrain and put an end to all this, I have done three week long tests since changing to the hub and have had no retrains or disconnections in that time. I'm going to put my extension back in because Sky are giving me ear ache about it being off the phone line and try again for a week, if I get no probs I've asked my isp to have a shot at resetting my snr. I'm currently running on 16db and getting an ip profile of 3500kbps, if they drop me down I should be able to sync at 4000 and get the old speeds back I was used to 8)
