Hello Batboy,
<What makes you think you have a flaky line? >
My previous posts on this subject talk about :
- Rather high error rate
- Violently jagged SNR margin (Rx only) at times, and often triggered by a phone call
- Very low Tx sync rate (64k) most of the time even when Rx is nearly 4meg, although occasionally the line will sync all day at 4m/600k Rx/Tx
- Lifting phone receiver or receiving (but not necessarily answering) a call causes Rx SNR margin to improve by ~5dB, usually to slump back after ~10 mins
- Previous history of line with abrasion by trees

Could still be a flaky something or other at the exchange I suppose, rather than the line itself, (there was an intervention by BT on the voice side a month or two ago to fix a loss of ring-out signal). However all symptoms seem to suggest that I need an ISP with the willpower to kick BT into action.

Regards

I've not noticed either

Now fixed as shown by the f8lure graphs

How did you rule out your router and internal phone wiring?

Not fixed at all, still various complaints in BEs private forums.

Though to be honest i don't care, getting my FTTC tomorrow and will be rid of the BE shambles. The regular snake oil like peddlers of the product are welcome to it

Id advise the OP to think very carefully especially as they currently have issues.

If they are reading still i suggest they ask there self do you want to add to the issues you already have?

If so go right ahead and listen to the BE supporters (see their posting history they wont have a word spoken against them) and sign right up.

Me im gone like the the other 16,000 in the first quarter of this year that have jumped the sinking BE ship LOL

Hello BatBoy,
<How did you rule out your router and internal phone wiring? >
Cos earlier on in this discussion you will see that I have eliminated both of these.

Ah yes, I searched for "test"...

Did you take your line stats from the test socket?

Hello BatBoy,
<Did you take your line stats from the test socket? >
No ... not the ones in my post ... BUT .... it makes no difference ... I have looked at both.
