Such problems aren\u2019t a big deal on the voice side but they\u2019re bad for broadband.<\/p>\n<p>In simple terms it&#8217;s a bit like turning the wire into an antenna that catches noise and that&#8217;s bad for copper line based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> services.
