Well if I'm going to succeed at that, it might help to know what a TDR test actually is?

[#2]

Time Domain Reflectometer test. Essential the kit sends a pulse up the line and you should get a reflection from anywhere that there is a joint that is not as good as it should be. All Openreach engineers should have the kit to do it. These days I think they exclusively use JDSUs. The Hawk tester was the magic box previously used and it was a damned good bit of kit.

That was the piece of kit I saw both engineers using.

Couple of resyncs this afternoon which I think were down to the ongoing saga with Tony trying to get somewhere with BT.

I've not heard of them in years!!!! You used to be able to find them on Ebay on occasion (back when was but a young fault agent).

But obviously no improvement to the errors yet!

Yeah ok ole man Maybe we should buy up a few so we can go round and point out to Openreach the ones they've been missing on other faults

Don't be daft - that would involve Openreach actually fixing something! 
An engineer is coming out to me tomorrow afternoon - should be interesting.

Perhaps you should. I might just get this fixed if you do.

[#13]

Well still no engineer and I'm now going out so complete waste of my time - not of course Tony's fault.

[#14]

Clearly typical BT - they just haven't got a clue

[#15]

BT apparently got in touch to say the engineer wouldn't make it due to being held up on another job. Unfortunately Tony was off yesterday and no-one else at PlusNet took charge of it.
