Just when I thought things were solid, this happens:

It had been at a stable 5.5/6db for the last few days and I haven't changed anything to make the noise start again. I am beginning to think that I should get a new PSU for the second router which may solve this issue.

Time to get digging through my 'box 'o' [censored]'.

EDIT:

Unplugged second router completely, noise still very apparent.

Just a short burst or is it carrying on? Does it stop when you disconnect the other PSU?

It *was* carrying on even with the other PSU disconnected.

However, I just disconnected everything and plugged the phone directly into the master socket, there was audible noise. I unscrewed the master socket and plugged into the test socket, no noise. I've just stuck the filter into the test socket and the connection is back to normal. I've got a feeling there's an issue with the socket but have no real way to prove this.


Thanks again for replying too


EDIT: Quiet line test (17070) is free to call, right?

Yes, 17070 is free - but don't abuse it.


Have a good look at te socket and check that all pins look OK and are not bent.


Did you do anything at the time it all failed? Something that might have caused it?


Just monitor it and see, next time it happens go round and turn off everything in te house and see if it continues before disconnecting.

I don't think I abuse it, just check to see if noise is apparent when things like this happen.

The socket connections look fine (they were the first thing I checked when it first started to happen). Am I allowed to unscrew the actual socket completely?

I did nothing at all, I was sitting at my PC when I noticed the connection drop.

Technically no. But if you are careful when you take it off, and only check for loose connections and don't fiddle you should be OK.
