Just checking before complaining!
Quick update
Now 48 hrs into the test. The only thing noticeable from the graphs so far is that my SNR goes wild at street lighting times. I tried last night with the ethernet wall plugs disconnected, the only thing going on was the main pc directly into the xte face plate. I think I can now rule out noise from my fish tank pumps etc as there was nothing significant on the graphs when this was on with everything running so I'm guessing here the wall plugs and the tank are not creating the noise on the line.
That leads me to other possibilities, what about the phone line wired into the back of the xte face plate, could it be acting as an antennae? I thought that wiring it directly into the face plate should eliminate this problem or have I picked that up wrong?
The noise at street lights on until off is a worry, my snr often gets down in the minus figures from generally 12db although it has to be said I have yet not suffered any disconnections. The lamp post out the back of my house went out a few months back so utilities people came out and changed a fuse on it, a couple of week after that there was a fireworks display on it with blue flames arching out in the rain. Turned out that a gland had been split and water was getting into the live wires
anyway road was dug up and it was fixed, could this be a suspect?
Only other things is router which I'm going to setup my free 1 port one supplied by PN that's never been used, my old linksys wag354g is prob 7 or 8 years old and may be failing but seems to much of a coincidence that all the noise starts and finishes in street lighting times.

Just making sure were both reading from the same page! The faceplate filters the adsl signal from the phone and the Sky wires are directly into the filtered side. So is this not right?
If I pull these wires then put a standard phone connector on the end then I surely don't need a filter as the face plate has built in filter?
There is some evidence to support the case which would make sense, after the floods things were running on red at the exchange and about two months afterwards I had the Sky wires fitted! Maybe it was just recovering when the lines made it worse
I suppose I will be ok stopping my 72hours test while I pull the wires or wait until it's finished?
