| 1316432 | 2012-12-04 20:55:00 | Hi there. My street is plagued with bad phone lines. After heavy rain the phone line sometimes gets audibly noisey, with resulting DSL dropoffs. Just something Ive learnt to live with, most of the time its OK. Whats the recommended modem router for intermittently noisey ph lines ?? Something with wifi & 4 network ports (dont really need Gigabit) Cheers |

You pay to use them, so they should be in working condition Last time the chorus Tech was around, he said he was very familiar with our road (having been there so often) Problem is, the issue is intermittent & will probhably never be permanently fixed . Im guessing all the water/drainage issues will be causing problems. |

| 1316435 | 2012-12-04 22:08:00 | I doubt any modem / router would fix noisy lines. Theyre pretty sensitive. If its a water drainage prob, I would ring the council, and tell them to fix it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1316436 | 2012-12-05 00:18:00 | Let me re-phrase the question... Which routers are the least susceptible to poor DSL lines I remember some models being mentioned a while back. |

| 1316437 | 2012-12-05 03:42:00 | Find out the root of your problem and get ti fixed. As speedy mentioned above, I doubt that there is any modem or router would fix your line problem, no matter how good/or expensive they are. Get you service provider to fix the line problem. End of story. |

| 1316438 | 2012-12-05 04:02:00 | If you can hear the noise on the phone, few routers will cope at all. Some of the more aggressive-syncing ones, like those from Asus, may hold the connection longer - but will also likely take longer to reconnect once they do drop out. Sound like your lines are screwed and need some serious repairs. This should be fixed. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1316439 | 2012-12-05 23:05:00 | It might be possible to improve things with a better router but mostly it's a waste of money. Sounds like water is getting into the cable which means there's a good chance it will keep getting worse. Keep reporting it, eventually they'll fix it. Try reporting the noisy phone as a fault if you haven't |

| 1316440 | 2012-12-06 01:12:00 | ^^ yeah that's good advice. Don't just report it as a fault with your DSL, but if you ring the Telecom Lines Fault Helpdesk, see how you go with that. I did that back in the day and it got things done the next afternoon as opposed to battling with Chorus techs going "Well we can see you're online now, we dunno what the problem is!?!"... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Sounds like water is getting into the cable which means there's a good chance it will keep getting worse . . . . . . . . I may try an Asus then, I need to buy a wifi router anyway . The ph line issue will never be permanently solved (it is intermittent, not constant, sometimes after heavy winter rain ) Unfortunately just too much groundwater/runoff where I live (Ak Nth shore), to the extent that me & my neighbor dug open drains on our sections . It will never be fixed unless I can convince the council to dig up & re-drain the whole suburb & go to every house to check that roof water is not just going into soakholes (ie running down to the next section) . I ring chorus, they fix the issue, untill next time . Allways a next time . (or find that the issue has fixed itself when they get there on the weekend) |
