Re: Is fibre more stable than adsl?


[re: bobble_bob] [link to this post]
 
In reply to a post by bobble_bob:
Only got a cordless phone.

Id be surprised if there was a fault, considering now i can go 10 days+ without a single resync. Thats just an average though

Maybe a daft question, but during the quiet line test is there meant to be zero noise on the line? Or is some minimal noise expected


Fair enough.

Minimal noise can be expected - I've had an engineer out before because I have a faint buzz on my line (Which was introduced with a loss of SNR) and he said it wasn't an issue. I think if there's sudden crackling or noticeable noise then it can be classed as a fault.

Yea its pretty faint.

On a side note, i typed my postcode into http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/ to see where my cabinet was. The map on that website isnt where my cabinet is. Not sure on the location but its not where openreach claim it is, as ive been there and there is nothing

Your cabinet may be down the road a bit or around the block. I believe all that shows up is your postcode and the exchange status - Doesn't show your cabinet.

Doesn't for me at least...

The map on that website isnt where my cabinet is.
The flag is the "centre" of the postcode, not the cab location.

Ah i see. Is there anyway to know where the cabinet is? I know im on cabinet 4, but is it just a case of wondering around the area until i find it?
