I have submitted another fault ticket through to telecom this morning to
ask them possible solutions to resolve the short line issue you are
experiencing where by you are too close to the exchange and the
resistance is too low for DSL to function properly.

I will get in touch with you via email with possible fixes once they get
back to me.

Best Regards,

Malcolm

518446 2007-01-23 00:44:00 What the? I thought the closer you are to the exchange, the better????? qazwsxokmijn (102)
518447 2007-01-23 00:45:00 You should try sticking a resistor in line with your phone line just for fun. I have a feeling it's not going to help ..... george12 (7)
518448 2007-01-23 00:53:00 at lest xnet tell you what the problem is. stu161204 (123)
518449 2007-01-23 00:54:00 Its not Xnet - that was just the current rubbish telecom told them. After all they can't say I'm too far can they..............

My neighbour has some old exchange bells hooked into her line - nice lot of resistance - didn't help her....

518450 2007-01-23 00:55:00 It's probably an impedance matching problem not resistance which is a DC thing. PaulD (232)
518451 2007-01-23 09:36:00 Maybe chuck a small capacitor across the wires? Erayd (23)

400m.

Which exchange is yours? This will give me more ammo in my war with Telecom. :-)
