    Inevitable I suppose. The broadband is dropping out constantly and the landline is extremely noisy again. It only took a bit of rain to set it all off once more. BT's Openreach vetted everything here last week and claimed to have cured a fault on their outside equipment. Not properly evidently. Bugger!!

    Oh dear, sorry to hear that. If the audio is noisy on the phone, perhaps provide BT with a recording.

    Yes. I've considered doing that. I've got my mini digital recorder handy right now. I have a call to make later and will try it.

    There have been problems here for many years. They've sorted it in the past, but it comes back. Seems relatively OK right now. Couldn't use the internet at all earlier. I phoned the SP helpline and the girl at the other end was amazed how much noise was on the line.

    Sod's Law, probably will be OK then.

    It's said that the only time sod's does not apply, is when one tries to prove it. Normally, if one drops buttered bread on the floor, it will land butter side down. However, if buttered bread is prepared with the purpose of testing the law, it will land butter side up.

    Internet & phone now properly sorted apparently. A further investigation by Openreach found a cable break at a junction box a couple of hundred yards from the house. This had been causing the intermittent signal and noise. The problem must have existed for years as this line has played up for a long time. Seems fine now even after a fair bit of rain.
