Phone line static problem.
Phone line is very staticy. It has a lot of hiss and popping noise. Making
conversions are impossible. The phone company had fix the box on the light pole so many times and it still comes back time after time. When the phone company repair-person arrives to check the box the static is gone, so he leaves. Minutes after he leaves it comes back. I am put into a waiting list again. Sometime I see protuding phone wires from the wall and find that they had been shorted together for days. I fixed that. Sometimes it dials 911 for no reason. What shoud I do next? |
Phone line static problem.
There should be a customer access box at the point of demarcation if you
are in the US. This is what seperates "your wiring" from "their wiring." 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. -- BFriedl A+ Certified Technician AIM: UACybercat ** Bear Down Arizona! ** ******* Go Cats! *******Terry Donadlson wrote: Phone line is very staticy.

Phone line static problem.
A common cause is water or high humidity in the terminal box outside, or
there is a frayed wire from their system to your home. You should mention that this happens when it is raining or wet outside, if you can observe this as fact. Have them come out when it is raining. They would then see the fault, so that they can fix it. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ========================================= WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm ========================================= "Terry Donadlson" wrote in message ws.com...

Okay, I went out and tried your suggestion. You're right, it's on their side. |

"Terry Donadlson" Phone line is very staticy. "Jerry G." A common cause is water or high humidity in the terminal box outside, or there is a frayed wire from their system to your home. You should mention that this happens when it is raining or wet outside, if you can observe this as fact. Have them come out when it is raining. They would then see the fault, so that they can fix it. You're right it happens when it rains. Thanks to your idea, I will get them here when it rains. The last big storm was when the police showed up for the 911 call. Several homes on the block also had the same problem. |

Okay, I went out and tried your suggestion. You're right, it's on their side. Also have you tried different phone/wire combinations. I have a phone where the satic is caused at the connection between phone and wire. |

Otherwise, any problem in "your wiring" will appear, at the speed of light g, at the access box, too. -- After being targeted with gigabytes of trash by the "SWEN" worm, I have concluded we must conceal our e-mail address.
