[access-uk] Re: Phone Sockets

Hi Dean

I can't help you with your question, but I have one for you.  Do you have
filters plugged into both the telephone line and the broadband line?  If you
don't, then this would cause your hissing, although I'm not sure that it
would be intermittent.  Still, it may be that one of the filters has broken
down.

Cheers

Barry

Subject: [access-uk] Phone Sockets

Hi,
This could be seen as off topic but I could do with someone else's
knowledge!

I have had broadband trouble for a while, when the modem is connected 
the phone crackles a lot.  Just recently though there have been times 
when it has completely gone away and it seems there might be a loose 
wire where the wire connects to the phone socket.  It isn't just as 
simple as move the wire a bit and the problem goes away, it can just 
go or come back without anyone seeming to have done anything near it 
although moving the wire where it meets the box certainly helps.  Ok 
so my question:

The box just inside the house where the phone line first entres the 
house is about 2 by 1.75 inches, is white with 1 screw in the 
middle.  This is an old box as a newer one would have the test socket 
where I could plug my broadband in to check it is the problem I think 
it is.  I know that usually the internal wiring in the house from 
there to the phone socket is the owner's responsibility but is this 
still the case with having the old box?
