Good day all.
I did not want to hijack the BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion thread and pull it off-topic.
I am still having on going problems with my xDSL connection, line drops, slow resyncing, etc.
On normal dry days I have very little issues, but if it's been rain, or damp air for more then a day, my internet connection becomes very unstable.
I know the fault is not with my own hardware, as I have tried 3 other routers, micro filters, etc.
And the problems only happen with changes in the weather.
Now each time I have spoken to my ISP (PlusNet), they run a line test but can't find any problems, but can clearly see my router disconnecting, but can not advice any more on this.
They have said I can request BT to come out and look over the line, but if no fault is found I will have a £120 fee to pay.
And now to my related a question regarding line voltage, as I have see the subject pop up a few times in BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion tread, that if the line voltage is below 50v there is a fault and BT will track down the problem and replace cables where needed.
Is this still the case with xDSL as well as FTTx, I ask as right now the line voltage at my BT master socket is 49.92vdc, I have yet to test the voltage when I am having issues with my internet connection.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
