Hi guys need some help , a friend of mine suffers with seizure due to post traumatic stress disorder they can happen anytime of the day and night , he has a alarm whats wired to his phone filtered faceplate BUT the problem lies with sky broadband he has drop outs 6 or 7 times aweek what sets off the alarm he has 30 seconds to cancel or RAPID responce and a paramedic is sent out , so far this had happened 5 times in the last month as hes been in the loo or sleeping each time it would cost them £450 . even dropped out and alarm went off last week when openreach were there doing line checks and changing filter faceplates yet again ,
sky say there is no problems with the phone line or broadband , SO im thinking can it be the sky hub what not working as it should ? ive dont some googling and alot say when they have had drop outs and changed the hub all was fine ...
came off the fone with sky and so they say they are sending a new hub to try ..
does anyone have anymore ideas ? thanks

The alarm does it have a microfilter if connected to the phone line?
If penalties are costly a second phone line gor JUST the alarm might be a more stable option

hi MrSaffron the phone socket in the bedroom were the alarm is a faceplate with built in filter
they have tryed 3 or 4 also normal filters .
it only happens when sky broadband drops out . lucky for my mate he dont have to pay the call out of the medics and rapid respone but that isnt the point , theres a problem somewere and sky just dont want to help him even openreach are baffled.
myself i think its 1 of 2 things the hardware ie the sky hub or the sky broadband conection .
if the new hub still dont work when its here this week they are leaving sky .

If Openreach have investigated then Sky must have asked them to.
The broadband likely drops for the same reason that the phone does, whatever the reason may be.

the phone line is fine . no noise or buzzing . its just that sky broadband drops out and that is what sets of his alarm and the alarm calls help

Loss of broadban signal triggering another device is odd particularly if the phone is still working fine at that point
It is possible the line is within spec but just bad enough to cause issues with the alarm, one assumes it is a disller alarm that call a number when triggered

Very odd indeed, if the alarm doesn't connect to the broadband at all. Could it be the alarm itself that is a problem ?

Usually with alarms it is them not working rather than false triggers so may be circuits that din't cope well with a modem in sync phase. Double microfilters might help

How can it be confirmed the phone line hasn't dropped simultaneously with the broadband?
