Once the phone line is fixed, you should go back to normal. You are lucky you are still with BT, you would probably been given a date sometime next week with Sky if you were lucky

Yeh, they call me up all the time, trying to get me to change over, but I dont want the 12 month contract, plus if I ever leave sky, I wont have so much hastle, not that I am thinking of it, but you never know....

Got a few problems, BT man came this morning, changed box as the box I have is old, and they dont carry them anymore.....once the box was changed, we found out that the lead from the Sky box to the filter is something else that is causing a problem......its so bad it will actually cause the router to stop working......the noise of crackling is even worse now, if we remove that, its ok, and the internet doesnt drop........that is bizzarre......so, have to wait till Thursday for sky engineer to come out to change the lead.......bit of a joke, they could just send it out.......

It may not be the cable, Sky digiboxes are particularly bad for causing noise on the line. Some of them need a high quality filter to stop the noise. The ones supplied by Sky are just not up to it.

My advice would be, if you don't have multi room, don't plug it in at all except when you want to use it to order a box office event. If you have multi room it must be kept plugged in.
