BTW - Do you rent those from BT?



Erm...

One of them was mine as rented from BT, the other I bought from a friend. I know they both still belong to BT, but no one has ever asked for them back. In fact everyone I know that ended an engineer installed service ended up with the router for the same reason (I've replaced a few PSUs for people).

In fact, I had a BT engineer here today to look at a line fault. He spotted the router and asked "one of ours ?", so I said "kind of...".

He came out to look at a fault that results in loss of sync 2-10 times a week on one of my two lines. After monitoring the faulty line for less than an hour his conclusion was "CPE kit fault" (i.e. my router), typical. I guess I'm now going to have to swap the config over on the two routers to prove that the fault still occurs with different CPE kit.

Do the DSLAMs not have the capability to monitor a line themselves over a prolonged period ?
