i have checked every line in my house individually and even boyught a new phone to test with but the crackling noise still exists.

i have also changed the line box and this hasnt helped.

Hi
Your ISP may be able to help. I found this information on the Wanadoo website when I was having similar problems and it worked for me. http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7106.htm

Hope it helps

Would love to but cant think of anything else to suggest.

Its at the stage where no more remote diagnosis is possible and it needs the "hands on" approach.

Sorry,

is there something i can buy that can test the quality of the lines i've got going away from the line box.

Not easily other than using a multimeter to check for shorts and earthing on the cables.

I have had faults in the past where despite exhaustive testing there has been no apparent fault. In the end I have ripped everything out and rewired from scratch and the fault has then disappeared.

If I was there in person I might be able to solve it but remotely, I am finished.

can anyone do me a diagram of how i should wire numerous extensions away from my line box??? PLEASE....

Like numbered terminals connect together.

If it is more convienient you can star wire from any socket but the incoming line MUST go through the NTE5/Master

i suppose all i need to do is wire terminals 2,3, and 5 from this image for each extension in my house.

[katman]

2,3&5 are the only one needed.

I tend to terminate 2,3,4,5 though so that the two pairs are fully terminated. (I dont usually bother with 1&6 although I once used this for a wired baby monitor)

DONT TRY TO TERMINATE MORE THAN 2 WIRES ON A SINGLE TERMINAL. You will get a bad connection.
