Latest update
BT openworld engineer left message at home today...

he had traced signal from Exchange to location 1mile from exchange ---
but had run out of time and we need to contact the ISP to allocate
more time to find fault.

apparently he is only allocated 2 hours to find fault.

needless to say the line works as a POTS line perfectly nice and clean
with no noise...

so its back on the phones shortly to the sub continent..

one thourght i have is as we have two lines to farm to try another isp
on the line without adsl and get a load balancing switch...

but as lines are supplied by open reach is it going to make a
difference.

Update ---- Order placed with IDnet for trial on 2nd line ---- fingers
crossed

The correct equipment to achieve load balancing is a router.  The new Vigor
2820 series are good for this, one WAN port is ADSL, the other erthenet.
The ehternet port requires an ADSL modem, such as the Vigor 110.

Your earlier point; it is the quality of the ISP that is the key issue, not
the fact that lines are actually supplied by BT Openreach.

Thanks for advice.

Idnet People are nice...answer by email as well.

So purchased 2 adslnation filtered faceplates and a Xmodem

and a Lynksys RV042 to load share the 2 lines until I get tired of BT
-- then it might goto GPRS as a backup


thanks for assistance and advice...

will update when i get back to uk and try kit..
