[vass0131]

HI i have moved to a new house when BT installed the phone line there was a noise like power on the line i advised of this but nothing was done.

1 week later sky broadband max with 56k speeds

sky advised that my attenuation is too high maybe caused by a fault in the line they have capped my line now because my line cannot handle the speeds.

contacted bt line test and engineer sent .... NO line fault £80 charge and still no bband

im now connected in the test socket

here's my stats could someone please help

hi m8 - i ahd a similar prob when i moved house about 3 years ago and was still with bt for bb then. they put a new line in for me after them saying there was no probs with it initially. the fault was intermittent and it was me who spotted the cable arcing outsde where it was clipped to wall. keep at them but tell them the problem is with your phone - dont mention bb ( i think they r a bit peeved with sky - cant think why !!! ) if they do identify a fault make sure u get onto them for your money back
cheers

after a few calls and emails bt still say no problem and sky say they are looking into it......... strange as after a few emails to bt today my line attenuation has dropped from 57.0 to 15.5 wow now to get intouch with t3 to get my connection uncapped

[stephens]

the router reporting an attenuation of 15.5 is just a router fault, reboot it and it should return to normal

call bt and tell them your phone line has noise on it, like a fuzzing. and tell them you think it may be your master socket.
they will then check the line and come and check the master socket.

Do not mention anything about bband
