Strange noise through phone

[Guest2]

This morning at around 2.30am I was woken by a strange tone. At first i thought it was my mobile but it wasnt. I then looked in the front room and the router was flashing all red blocks on all the lights. The sound was 5 bleeps getting higher pitch and longer towards the fifth.

I unplugged the router and it continued then noticed the housephone was off the hook so put it back on and it stopped. I then plugged the router back in and went back to bed. I woke up and the router was flashing like it was testing the signal.

Has anyone heard this strange (testing?) tone before? Was it aliens trying to contact me or Sky fiddling around with our landline

On, the last of the 5 beeps, the highest pitch, was around a second longer than the others

I'm going to have my breakfast soon, it'll most likely be a flapjack.

A couple of people at work said their sky routers reset last night. Must be testing

There you go then - you get a high pitched noise played through your housephone if its off the hook. It's to let you know its off the hook.

Extra Terrestrials

We dont need any Extra-Terrestrial's, the planet is not big enough for all the terrestrial beings.

You sure it's not to warn you of an alien presence?

Ta-da! we have a winner.

But we'll blame aliens/others/muslims just to be on the safe side

It was because the phone was off the hook
