My phone line has a lot of crackle and broadband connection is lost on average about once an hour. The crackle is still present right back at the master socket with no other extensions connected.
The weird thing is that pressing the rest on the phone up and down 10 or 20 times reduces the crackle and allows the router to reconnect. If I don't do this, the router won't reconnect, even if rebooted.
Does this suggest anything about the cause of the crackle?
(other facts - there are two cables coming in to the house from the pole. One has a green and black pair and that's the one that is in use. The other has an orange and white pair, this goes to another master socket at the back of the house which is not in use. I posted about that before, here //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1419162 )
