I have been a little bit of a problem with my ADSL dropping off for no apparent reason.
I have been in touch with my ISP and they have done some tests and have come back and said that it is my fault
This is a copy of what they said
----------------------
Major Findings DSL Fault identified. Bearer fault (HR joint)/RF2, possible
CPE or Line card.
63.5dB Long Line: please be aware that a >60db result does not necessarily
indicate a Line Fault
In light of these test results we would ask you to throughly, check all your
cables, filters & connections on your equipment at your end.
This kind of thing happened when the micro filter develops a fault. Please
purchase a new microfilter and retest the service.
-------------------------
Now my system worked well untill the bad weather around the 27th/28th of last month but now we get some drop offs. The drop-off can last anywhere between 5 mins and several hours..
The kit I have now was all working fine then. But as requested I went to Comet to get a couple of new microfilters.
While speaking to the salesman I said that I have only had my old ones a few months at most...And did they often die like this.
His responce was that he had never actually ever known a filter to die ever.
I have also tried unplugging my phones and using the ADSL....But that seems to make no difference
If it makes any difference I am using Win98SE with a D-Link DSL-504T router that acts as a hub for my 2 machine home network. The network doesn't go down so I don't think that is the problem and the cables are safely tucked away so that they cannot be knocked
I'm not trying to point fingers at my ISP yet...I would just like a little friendly help that may help me find the source of my problem.
Thanks
