K, engineer went round to the exchange, some alarm had gone off on "my board" whatever the fuck that means, and had dropped my connection. He didnt know how to fix it, so escalated to the "transmissions team". | |

Engineer has just been round. All internal wiring is fine, however he cant get a sync on the line no matter where he tests it. He's just gone round to the exchange now to see if im actually plugged in :lol: | |

Your connection with tiscali should stay active until you are swapped over, so the engineer should still be able to test the line. Good move getting away from tiscali though, I had no end of problems with them a couple of years ago | |

pretty much the whole population can get adsl max, its the new "up to" 8mbps service but actual speed depends on line distance and quality. If you had adsl before with no problems then your line should be fine to run it, although there may still be an issue if they have enabled it. They would have told you first though i woulda thought. | |

The cable goes into the house via the master bedroom. the socket in there does not have any sign of a test socket. its just a chipboard, a resistor or two - and the main plug. | |

soounds like theres a sync issue on the line , your modems are not picking up the digital adsl signal. | |

The phone socket in here does not have one of this test sockets. I have tried the other sockets in the house (Front room, garage and Greenhouse) - non of which have a test socket. Where is the "main" socket normally in a house? | |

dont hold your breath with the BT engineer they are useless, if your phone is working for calls then they will say its all ok, and either leave, or tell you that your internal wiring is no good, have you tried using the test socket? | |

On thursday there was a power surge in telehouse north, which is where most BT central pipes terminate before they go transatlantic or contental, possibly this may have sumit to do wid it?? | |
