Could be at the top of a pole, or in an underground joint box. It's (hopefully) the last joint in the loop before the "Drop Wire" (which might be an underground wire, rather than pole-strung!

Drop wire is only from an overhead feed, if its UG, then it's a lead in.

Ahh! Here's bowing to your expertise, Zarjaz!

You better tell the foreigners at ETSI! They're calling them DWUGs tongue *chuckle!* -- Drop Wires UnderGround.

Hopefully people here will answer the simple questions rather just shout and tell people to use google which some forums do

Sorry Mr.S, was this aimed at me ? If so, I'm missing the point, had hoped I was being helpful to the OP.

Zarjaz - you were being helpful...thanks. I just hate jargon. Just a pet hate of mine, as it leads to more questions if the person it is aimed at does not know what you're talking about smile (Some are too scared to ask!)

Sorry, suspect I am more guilty than the rest, as I am fluent in the strange dialect of the telephone engineer.

Just as an update:

The Open Reach engineer called today 1-2pm (unannounced). He said there is still a fault on the line which he will report back.

IP Profile for your line is - 56.64 Mbps (06/06/13) Upload 7.03

My usual profile 60 + Upload 17 - he said it may take several weeks to resolve, but will be done remotely without a further home visit.

Do you think the ticket I raised with Plusnet should be left open until the fault is cleared?

Best Regards

Yes! Otherwise they might close the fault report to Openreach!
