Perhaps this is true for other countries as well? Anyways, when you get
static, go to the access box and plug a phone in there. If static
remains, then there is nothing you can do but call the telco because it
is on their side. If it is gone, then you know the problem is in the
building and can be difficult to diagonse.


Huh? That's only true if before your test you disconnect "your wiring."
Otherwise, any problem in "your wiring" will appear, at the speed of
light g, at the access box, too.
