| 156645 | 2003-07-01 10:27:00 | heni. I also have the same problem & resolve it the same way. Have seen on this Forum that it may be Telecom giving you a "Shared Line" or something. I am sure someone could give a better/fuller explanation. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 156646 | 2003-07-01 10:44:00 | You could try changing the phone number to 08 7303032. Used to work for me sometimes. | Icarus (3936) | ||

It waould always be low. Possibly just a marginal situation with something loading the line at your end (a phone fax or answer machine) or an intermittently noisy line. |

| 156649 | 2003-07-01 19:01:00 | A word of warning: By all means unplug the telephone line from your Sky decoder, I do .......I don't know if it will help with the slow connection problem or not.... but, take care if you want to book any box office movies etc. through the remote, to reconnect the decoder phone line overnight....it "phones home" in the middle of the night to complete the booking/billing process. brig |

| 156650 | 2003-07-01 20:56:00 | what's the difference of this number from 08 7303030? | heni72847 (1166) | ||
| 156651 | 2003-07-01 23:37:00 | actually nothing now.It used to go to a different bank of modems,for people that had modems that wouldn't talk to the standard ones properly,but it just goes to the same place now. Peter |

| 156652 | 2003-07-03 10:53:00 | Contact Telecom Faults, on "120" and get them to a Line Test for Data Integrity, have them e-mail or fax you the results and then contact the Xtra help desk. They may be able to assist, but they will need to know the results of the Data Integrity test | sinndisco (4059) | ||
