Thank you for that information. I will look at your link.

Thanks for that @Harry Bloomfield.

Thanks @Echo the husky. We have thought about doing the same bur our landline was also our business line back in the day and quite a few local people still use it to call us.

Thank you for that @Echo the husky. May I ask if you are isolated and way out in the sticks because surely if you have a few neighbours they should also be experiencing similar problems ?

Thank you very much for that @OwainDIYer. That was very helpful.

Thank you @oceansoul. That was very informative and much appreciated.

Thank you for that @mattylad. I have quite a few items with re-chargeable batteries in, head torches, label printer, oh, and of course do not forget all the Christmas lights that get draped round everywhere !!

Thank you for all that @Harry Bloomfield and all to be borne in mind when we decide on our next 'phone system.

Thank you @mattylad . Yes, I will look into that. At least we have got our mobiles in an emergency.

Thank you once again @Harry Bloomfield for your continued help. It is very much appreciated . But in the meantime I can go ahead and buy any phone system ? Will my current router work with fibre ?

Thank you for that @Rulland, that was very helpful. And so it looks like the camera could have been wired up better when the system was installed ! Have you any idea where I can buy the RJ45 couplings with the correct cover please ?

Thank you @Harry Bloomfield, sorry, I read @matlob's post first and discovered that we have fibre in the village already. Presumably it is only to the pole outside our house at the moment. So it sounds as if we will have to go full fibre this year ?

Thank you @matlob,. Wow, that was useful ! I've just discovered that full fibre is available to us now !!! But my Internet access is fast enough as it is for what I use it for. Probably because I am so close to the exchange ? I wonder if at some time we will have no option but to go fibre ?

Nine years ago we had a Hikvision CCTV system installed and one of the dome cameras stopped working about 3 weeks ago. I got inside the camera and pulled the RJ45 connection apart and put it back together again and the camera started working again ! After a few days it stopped working again and...
