ADSL Faults
ADSL Faults tend to balance equally between the following causes:
- End User Configuration error / Modem or Filter Fault
- BT Line Problem, Exchange Problem or outage within the BT ADSL Network (Called Collosus) - These can vary in impact between all UK ADSL customers, people just on your exchange or just your own line
- ISP Problems - These tend to affect a lot of users at once
To illimunate any local end user configuration issues please check the following:
- Is your broadband enabled telephone line working? I.e. Are you able to make and receive calls using your broadband enabled line?
- Is your broadband affected by incoming or outgoing calls? Do you experience temporary disconnection while making or receiving calls?
- Disconnect all the non ADSL equipment connected to the Broadband line/PC such as FAX, alarm, answering machines, additional telephones, satellite set-top box, satellite TV receiver, etc. If there are multiple non ADSL equipment connected then disconnect one by one to identify potentially faulty device(s). Has the problem been resolved?
- Do you have a new master socket with a front plate (NTE5) or an old type master socket (LJU)?
- NTE5: Remove the front plate of the master socket, and connect your modem/router to the test socket. Check your connection again to see if the problem is resolved. (Please advise the end user about connecting to the master socket.)
- LJU: Have you tried connecting using alternative micro filters? (If no, can you please try using one?)
