    telephone extension

    Thats not what i said is it ?.If the pair is split(not to be confused with crossed) from the exchange to the end user it will have a major impact on your adsl,if its split for a few metres in the internal cable it will not. If you have a new line installed now or a fault repaired you will now...

    telephone extension

    Point taken but in a short internal cable run it won`t make any difference,if the pair coming from the exchange to the end user is on a split pair it will effect the capacitance balance and when tested will coming back as a unbalanced pair.A few metres of internal will make no difference.

    telephone extension

    The colour is not important as long as you use the same wire at both ends,just think of the wires as copper path. As has been said 2,5 and 3 to ring the bell. If you want to be professional about it use the correct cable and the colour wires below. 2- blue/white fleck 5-white/blue fleck...

    BT line into house - external cover needed - BT no help

    Ring up and tell them your cover is missing/hanging off,it will be reported as as a damage report and they should fit one for free.The ug cable should be protected and not exposed.

    What happened to the 'element of surprise'?

    The aim is to drive the taliban out of helmand,if they pre warn them then there is the chance that some will leave knowing the size of the force that is coming their way. :wink:

    Telephone rings, then silence but connection still there

    Well today i fixed a ring trip/rectified loop,it was 560m back from the end user where the dropwire was rubbing on a tree,when tested you could see a loop and earth fault(from tree)it would ring intermittently like yours this is caused by the earth fault.It was also intemittently noisy due to...

    Telephone rings, then silence but connection still there

    It could be but i`m making a guess based on the symptoms given me and my experience faulting on the openreach network,if i could see his line test results or test his line myself i could tell him for definite

    Telephone rings, then silence but connection still there

    Yes it does see a rectified loop which causes ring trip problems,quite often the line test robot will pick up these types of fault and issue a live fault without the end user even being aware of a problem.It could be a dropwire problem like has been said tree rub can cause ring...

    Telephone rings, then silence but connection still there

    It could be a intermittent fault in the network but from my experience rectified loops are 9 times out of 10 in the house or very near,if you get a rectified loop in the U.G network its is normally accompanied with some other fault conditions namely battery or earth faults where a joint gets wet...

    Telephone rings, then silence but connection still there

    Like tricky has said it is probably a rectified loop,it will ring once then the ringing voltage goes to earth,9 times out of ten the fault will be internal,it could be the nte,adsl filter,internal wiring or a faulty phone.Disconnect everything and ring B.T and ask for a line test.
