line check?

[cinek]

is it possible to check the phone line for any errors? I've got internet problems again, and aol told me there's an issue on my line. But I've got internet on & off.... I told them I'll be switching, not sure if they just made it up or not....

Go to Here (https://www.bt.com/consumerFaultTracking/public/faults/tracking.do?pageId=2&s_cid=con_FURL_faults)

and follow the instructions.

I had an issue with my line this week, turned out to be a corroded overhead line.

BT Openreach fixed it yesterday and I am now sync'd at 3Mb faster than before (18700kbps) :lol:

If you think you have a line problem then call TalkTalk and get them to do a line test.
