Telephone Line Questions


[link to this post]

Can you not borrow a phone from a neighbor ? From the looks of your line stats, you are on a long line, could it be that your line was on line extenders ('boosting the signal) before they connected the ADSL ?

I live in a town and am about 2.6km from the exchange (Line of sight, I know this is no indication of line length).
