| 1235035 | 2011-10-09 04:45:00 | "One thing that is troubling me is that I live in a block of ten flats - I had a look inside the box outside, there are ten sets of wires connected to a distribution block for the main incoming lines. All have two wires connecting to the raised pole connectors - except for mine, which has four wires - two going to the raised poles (to the incoming line)" and " Can I snip the extra wires in the box?? Or should I leave well alone and call a tech and just hope he/she does not need to get inside the jack box inside." Do you think he knows what he is doing? and what odds he would disconnect other tenants? |

| 1235037 | 2011-10-10 07:26:00 | Just picked up a D-Link router/modem. Will test that tonight and see if that makes a difference. Seems more work is going on - lots more road cones near the hole/cable! |

| 1235040 | 2011-10-11 03:26:00 | Lol, that's so bad it's funny. All this time to find it's just a loose wire. Great to hear it's sorted though. D-link modems don't have that great a reputation by the way, if it's working good then don't panic but Telecom abandoned the old D-link range because it wouldn't work with ADSL2+ and refused to sync over 8Mbps. Of course they chose Thompson which doesn't seem any better so what do they know. |

| 1235041 | 2011-10-11 04:24:00 | . . . Of course they chose Thompson which doesn't seem any better so what do they know . From my personal experiences with 3 different setups, this free Thomson unit is excellent in terms of stability, speed, and wireless signal strength . It is better than the highly recommended Netcom NBxxxx unit . :thumbs: |
