Recently I had a phone line installed by BT and undertook a line-rental and broadband package with them. I noticed that once the broadband was installed I started hearing noise and crackling on the line, which was sometimes so bad that I couldn't hear the person on the other end of the line. Intuitively I tested the phone socket, all my wires, and changed my ADSL filters - still no improvement. So phoned BT and explained the problem to them, they said that it was a high-resistance disconnection (should I suspect that is some form of open circuit fault!) and they would need to conduct a Local Loop Unbundling Special Faults Investigation!! It is apparently a straight forward procedure and an easy fault to repair!
Anyone else come across such wonderful jargon in the world of electronics?
