Hi,
Situation: I two lines into my property, one is my homeline and the other is provided to me by my company. The Company line has a voice and DSL. Homeline only Voice.
(I had some serious issues with line noise a while ago and had the company line 'moved' to new terminals at the 'Green Box'. Now I have pretty good speeds averaging 7 Mb/s)
Now I am about to leave my company I have a problem, the company tells me that I have to sort out the any DSL connections myself and they will terminate their contract to supply a service (voice and DSL).
I don't have an issue with this and already have an ISP provider in mind. My concern is that I will lose the physical connection and when this is remade I may go back to having a noisier line. If I do a phone number check my current office line predicts an achievable speed of 8Mb/s but my Home line predicts 6Mb/s so I am assuming the quality of the home line is somehow impaired, probably higher noise figure due to wear and tear. (BTW: BT Engineer PAT? test or was it a whoosh test, indicated a maximum line speed of 10.8Mb/s but this is usually backed off to give some guard band)
So after all that my question is; If my ISP service is stopped and my voice line service is stopped WILL this have any impact on my line quality after I get it reconnected and DSL enabled? I want to use the second line for the same purpose i.e. DSL and Voice.
When they say the line is disconnected is it physically disconnected and if so where? (Exchange, house, Green box)
Any help would be appreciated.
