To complicate things our telephone rental is with TalkTalk (yes i know but they were cheaper than BT).
However in your case the fault is downstream of the NTE5 for which neither TalkTalk nor anyone else is responsible. The rule of thumb is is use the Master Socket and in your case the ADSL socket. ALL regular extensions will be filtered and so will not work. |

Obviously you never had to deal with them professionally. They were quite appalling bad - as was the supplied equipment. In my office, the British Telecommunications Act was a source of great rejoicing.

Phone landlines are balanced. It's highly unlikely to be any sort of "outside interference"!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_line Two Possibilities: 1. The overvoltage protector in the Master Socket can become faulty! (replace master socket). 2. if using multiway connectors, especially cheap ones, "crud" can build up on them due to electorlytic action (it's usually green!). Just remove it. |
