Bad contact?

The phone often rings once then stops, or rings continuously.
There is an NT5E master socket but the first extension socket is an LJU Master.
There is audible noise on the line when running a quiet line test
Incoming calls tend to interrupt the broadband.
Very large minute to minute variation in noise on the broadband signal.
Some of these symptoms I recognise as indicative of a bad contact but I have not come across the phone ringing problem before. Should I replace the "second" master socket with an LJU secondary?

The noise and ADSL dropping sounds like an HR fault, if the noise is on the first master test socket report it as a voice fault.
The phone ringing once and then stopping (ring trip) is caused by a low resistance between the line pair being interpreted as a phone going off hook.
Check that the wiring between the two sockets is correct and that 2 and 5 are not crossed over.
If the fault has just started I would suspect a wet corroded joint or joints somewhere.

I ask because it could be someone has been up to this trick and screwed up.
Otherwise, replacing the LJ 2/1A with an LJ 2/3A sounds like a good thing to do even if it isn't causing this problem.

Classically, a ringing telephone goes: Ring Ring Pause Ring Ring Pause etc
Sometimes this happens on these premises but other frequently heard are
RIng Stop
or
Ring....... (a continuous single tone)
The householders tell me the line has always been noisy but the ringing problems are new.

Quote from: ReedRichards There is still noise on the line.
... when a telephone is connected to the Test Socket. But your warning is well-taken.
