the "goons" are actually install techs and only deal with probs inside houses or from the house to the cab in the street. the network is handled by network engineers that means all telephony and catv from the headend to the cab in your area but not your house.the network guys arent "goons"
not to be pedantic of course.

if you re-read my post, it was very plain that i was refering to the goons that come to my house and waste my time. i still, 8 months later have crackling (not the nice eatable type) on my phone line. the goons who have visited said the line from the house to the cab needs to be replaced which he can't do and promptly leaves. i hear nothing for a few weeks, ring to question what is happening to be told "we thought it was resolved, we'll relog it" and the whole process starts again.

i'm used to the crackling. i used to the goon who keeps arriving to not fix it. i make him tea.

the VM backbone is 2nd to none and when it works - its great which is why i stay with VM.

did the guy or guys connect their lineman to the main entry point in your house.in my experience crackling is 99% internal wiring, usually cables under carpet or laminate etc.vm wont fix them and its strange that they havent replaced the supply if that was the real fault.i suggest if you only have one phone borrow one to rule that out,if you have more disconnect them one at a time starting with the furthest away from your main phone, each time returning to your main to see if you can isolate the problem

i only have 1 point in the house connected to a dect. i have a standard phone for testing purposes if need be (to rule out singal interference, etc) i also understand that internal wiring is my issue. a year before i moved to VM i had the cabling from the telegraph pole to the house replaced (due to poor condition) including fitting a new little brown box on the outside of the house where the connection comes in. A new master socket and cabling to the outside brown junction box was fitted inside also at the time by BT. When VM came to connect my phone a year later he said " oh great, i'll just use their new cabling" and disconnected the BT wiring from the brown box and connected the VM telephone cabling from the grey box into it. Thanks, nice new BT wiring now tied in a knot handling down by the front door.

So, there's very little internal wiring and what i have is all less than 4 years old. So yes, the problem is from somewhere outside my house to the cab in the street. Having checked the border of my garden there's already 1 cable that looks like it's been replaced (cut off and buried under some dirt, new one running along side) and left so they must have replaced it once before - either at my request or the previous house owner (it looks similar in age, no new disturbance in the ground so not recent work) - but still the crackling (on some days not others) persists.

What we got was not cracking, but feedback(like what you get from a microphone) from the landline, but it went after you started to speak in to it. I thought it was the phone at first, but now we're on BT, and its not happened once. VM really need to sort their wiring out!

So you have ruled out interference on your DECT, I would be tempted to go to the out side box and swap the orange and orange/white cables over to the blue and blue/ white cables and also do the same at the master box where your DECT plugs into, they both do the same thing and are both connected at the hub the same, I think the only difference is that virgin use the orange arrangement for domestic and the blue for commercial. This is what a engineer will do if there is a damaged line and if its not that just swap them back, but just a point which I am sure you are aware make sure you swap like for like ie orange=blue, and orange/white=blue/white.......chuck

[waqasahmed]

We dont have a box outside, like many homes , so that would be out of the question(it would mean messing about at the spaghetti junction!)

Also, we've moved to BT now any way, so its no biggy

Sorry the reply was meant for ManofScience mate...chuck

this thread called NAGRA3 HACKED, sorry if im lost, but phone lines =whats that got to do with n3 hack,,

maybe because people just get sidetracked or maybe because n3 wont be hacked and its time to move on,

Lets see now ermmmmm ...

[waqasahmed]

Im assuming the burden in that picture is on the more senior members telling the younger, naive members continuously, that there is not a hack? Or did I misinterpret the image?

However your interpretation will do nicely

Here's a few facts for you :-

1 - N3 has not been hacked
2 - N3 wont be hacked
3 - N3 is here to stay
4 - get over it and move on cause the subject of N3 CRACKED/HACKED is boring the teds of me !!.
