37662 2002-03-03 04:43:00 OK. Sometime ago I posted a msg re my Jetstart disconnecting each time someone in the house answer a ringing phone. The TNZ contractor (from Downer) said its my Nokia Ni200 internal card (its crap etc etc etc). Then I found out a mate of mine in Christchurch had the same problem and he wasn't using a Nokia Ni200.

So I checked around and found out from various sources that modern 2 wire points shouldn't mix with legacy 3 wire ( M, S and E) points which are what I have in the kitchen (M) and the master bedroom (S). I've replaced them all with 2 wires points and phone is working properly.

BUT THE FREAKING PHONE IS STILL DISCONNECTING MY JETSTART.

So I went down under the house (*@^&#E^% yeah should have done this first yeah yeah yeah). Here is what he did.

The wire from TNZ goes under the house until just below the Kitchen (main point). However the wire is then split/joined (like a Y connection) to two lines. One line goes to the kitchen, the other line goes to the DSL point.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the main line suppose to go to the Kitchen, then daisy chain from the kitchen to the DSL point?

So what I have is;

TNZ -> Kitchen & DSL point

Kitchen -> Master bedroom.

If I interpreted TNZ technical requirement at www.telepermit.co.nz it should be

TNZ -> Kitchen -> DSL Point -> Master bedroom.

Did the contractor (who charged me $$$ for the installtion) wired me up correctly?

37663 2002-03-03 07:26:00 it all depends where your fillter is installed. ALL your phones and alarm if you have one must be after the fillter .the line from telecom should go direct to the dsl socket Guest (0)
37664 2002-03-03 09:30:00 How many phones do you have in your house ringing? Check total R.A.L of phones/connected telephone line devices is less than 5. The order of the jacks doesn't really matter. You will get the best results if they are continous chain. Was a filter installed at the point where the DSL line comes off the main line? Try lossing it and see if the problem still exists.

37665 2002-03-03 10:53:00 Hi Stan,if the installation for the adsl was done bt Telecom,it should be wired:Telecom line- splitter with 3 way joint with orange/white of the splitter to the Telecom line and the wire going to the dsl jack.The other side of the splitter(blue/white) goes to all the other phones/alarms ,etc in the house.If that is how it is wired,and it is still dropping off on incoming calls,ring Telecom back,as there is still a problem there.There is a known fault of this happening if you are on an 8 port card in the exchange,and Telecom(the adsl helpdesk) can change a setting on the card which may fix it.
Hope this is some help

37666 2002-03-03 23:18:00 Hello Peter, YES!!! That is exactly how its wired under the house. One line to the ADSL connection box with the Filter above the box.

The other line goes to kitchen and is then daisy chained to master bedroom (ie 2 phones altogether).

I'll contact Telecom again and see if they can sort it out.

:-D

I too have 'seemingly impossible to remedy' dramas with my DSL. For some weird reason my connection just sits there doing nothing for 40-60 seconds at a time, every 5-10 minutes or so.

I'm beginning to think it's something to do with the PCI NIC's latency, hogging all the available bandwidth. (It's a Dick Someone cheapo, so I shouldn't really be surprised, I guess).

But I do understand your frustration. Good luck. :-)
