I've just had a new line installed in preparation for eventually ordering FTTC which should be available next month (fingers crossed).
When the OR guy completed the install (which required a new drop wire from the DP) he ran a PQ test which he seemed to have trouble getting to pass. On the final run he got it to pass by pulling the connection to the NTE5 on the last test (Insulation R). I grabbed a photo of one of the failed tests which is below:

Now given the line quality issues around FTTC and broadband in general I'm paranoid that he fudged the test to get a pass, I feel sorry for the guy as he was under a lot of pressure to move on the next job. Do I have anything to be concerned about?
Cheers,
MH
