I cannot afford to go b/band yet but this problems driving me nuts, i tried to get a responce from clear as to the cause but they haven't replied, any suggestion would be a great help.... thanks kenmac64:thumbs: kenmac64 (11802)
523975 2007-02-08 21:30:00 Is there noise on your line (when you pick up the phone, is there a lot of white noise, or any other noises apart from the dial tone)? If you have got a noisy line, Telecom will fix it (I had them out 3 time to my new house, every time except the last they said there was nothing wrong, but I could harldy hold a phone conversation - last guy fixed it and it's perfect now - bband speed back to normal)

Are you running through a phone extension cord? It could be damaged or introducing noise.

Do you have access to another modem to try?

Have you checked for spyware/virus?

523977 2007-02-08 23:37:00 disconnect all other telephony devices from your house system then try.....if it works ok then you have begun to locate the problem, (bad phone perhaps).....make suer you are hooking the pc DIRECT to the wall socket NOT thru any adaptors/double plugs/extensions.......also try the pc in other sockets...and call telcom 123 or 124 and get em to run a line test.... drcspy (146)
