We'll see, when they eventually get round to installing fibre and the drop outs disappear.

And yet here I am with 100 drop outs yesterday. Numerous engineers can't find the fault. Everything's been repaired or replaced from box on the street to router (all electrical).

Obviously BT engineers don't know how their systems work, otherwise they'd be able to find the fault.

They absolutely do know how their systems work.

But what you describe sounds like it may be RFI related, and the source of that could be anywhere between the DSLAM and you.

Such a fault would usually result in an SFI (Special Faults Investigation) Engineer being requested who have the specialist knowledge, equipment and time to sniff out the sources of RFI.

I'd question why your ISP has let it go on for so long without escalating it/requesting an SFI visit from Openreach

That Pentacon plug may require soldering skills just above my capability/patience levels these days!

I use a soldering tool kit myself, even so, it's a challenge, my eyes not as they use to be!

Do we need a new thread - BT Broadband - maybe?
