Seriously?! Surely 'check customer's local cabling' is pretty much step 1 in the tech support book for dodgy internet connections!

Calm down eggface, no need to assume things. The cabling was already checked (the user was asked) and if a user says the cabling was fine then it was fine.....until everything else was examined over a few months then the user goes back to the cabling and wonders if the join could in fact cause the problem and then sends me a picture.

Everything had been done following proper procedure.

LOL! I think your procedures needs re-examining!

Allnamestaken: the movie it's from is 'Event Horizon'.

If the user is at a remote site several hundred miles away, what do you suggest?

If the procedure is, ask user to check/swap cable, and they come back and tell you it's fine/they have, your hands are pretty much tied...

I suggest posting a picture and not quoting someone else's.

You posted at 9.07. I posted at 9.10, at which point you definitely still had not edited in a photo as if you had, Telescopi would not have deleted your message. Don't tell fibs ;).

Weird... I noticed straight away, and edited my post in the time it took to find an image and re-host it on imageshack. This is the image I posted:

Ah well, no harm done I guess

A remote worker here has been battling broadband problems from her Northern site for many months now and just today I get an email with pics asking where she can get this kind of cable because no shop sells them.

Well I think we have found out, after many days of complaiining to BT, scratching heads and so on, what the problem is...

Someone has stripped and taped strands of a phone cable and ethernet cable together and used that going into the BT router....

Reminds me of this masterful piece of wiring I found while on site after the client was complaining that one computer kept dropping off the network. They'd also told me all the cables were fine previous to my visit!

The way it works is that one of the words is a "control" word, meaning that it is known by OCR recognition, and then the other word is worked out using a point system.

Lots of sauce on this image still needed.
