Was this done because no one was at home when he arrived unannounced ? He had left before I spotted the brown connection box at first glance I thought it was some type of tester.</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 21:01:26 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/Openreach-repair/m-p/1985004#M368087 MickGO 2024-09-09T21:01:26Z https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/Openreach-repair/m-p/1985994#M368244 <P>There are various possibilities...</P> <UL> <LI>A new overhead feed was found to be required, which was replaced to the nearest accessible point on your property given that at the start, no one was at home</LI> <LI>There was already a joint somewhere around there which had become degraded so the engineer cut back the ends and inserted a junction box</LI> <LI>RFI (SHINE or REIN) has been observed and a BT80B RF3 interference suppression box has been fitted (this was used for ADSL lines ... and there are some suggestions that they might be useful for VDSL lines as well)</LI> </UL> Tue, 24 Sep 2024 10:41:20 GMT https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/Openreach-repair/m-p/1985994#M368244 Townman 2024-09-24T10:41:20Z
