Just to save on our faults team passing the ticket back unnecessarily it might be worth replying back to clarify that you acknowledge the potential engineer charge before we can take this further with the supplier for you. I'm only mentioning this as you did state that you don@t agree to the charge and that might be construed as a reason for us not to be able to take this further.

Have done. Someone replied to me earlier confirming that charges would not be incurred as the problem had been located externally on the network, although they did not say what it was - I would be interested to know what it was in my case.

Fair play to the engineers they were up the pole at 5:30 last night, it was freezing cold, blowing a gale and snowing like a b****rd.
Thanks to Matt and everyone else at Plusnet for sorting this quickly.

I don't know whether this is likely to drop at all? But everyone says the line is fixed now so I guess there's something hidden causing it.

What they did was cut both telephone lines at the pole, cut them so there was a few metres of cable left coming out of each house, fit a box to the wall, wire both wires up to this box, and then fit one cable between this box and the pole.
I looked in Feb, but have not looked since but seem to remember this box said DACS on it.

A typical modern "drop wire" has two pairs in it so can carry 2 phone lines.
Not all though and the old grey "flex" type (as I had) are only a single pair.
