People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

I spoke to a couple of people via outgoing calls today , that have said they have a job to hear & understand me as it is a bad line.
I have tested with both corded & cordless phones & have completed a 17070 quiet line test
I have recorded the quiet line test & there is definitely interference of some kind, however you may have to turn up the volume to hear it.
I have started a Ticket #82827889
With more information
Not had any incoming calls since to test with

Re: People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

Fingers Crossed as I have had umpteen rubbish BTO for a speech clipping phone fault over several months, that they claimed was unfixable when I was with my previous ISP, plus they came here with faulty equipment then claimed they could not find a fault, after I had to let the BTO use my corded phone so he could here his colleague, then had a cheek to attempt to bill me (however my ISP put pay to that idea) 
It was all documented via their forum & makes interesting reading into the history of a brand new line, that was brought in to supply me in the 1st instance
If PN or BTO requires that info the I will dig out the links for you / them
Albeit on a 30ft + aluminum  cable from the DP ========> DP =========> Master Socket. that does pick up a lot of REIN, that BTO would not change to copper.
Even though BTO claimed to OFCOM that they do not use aluminum cable
I can not find the links atm

Hi  Linn
All seems to be working fine again atm
Just completed another quiet line test & came back all clear
I have just phoned to cancel the engineer, so that we can monitor it further, incase it was a one off interference issue, or it might of coincided with works in the cabinet etc
Can you please check that the engineer has been canceled for tomorrow

Re: People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

Outgoing calls are affected again,
The problem is that the person(s) on the other end have problems understanding & hearing caller(s) from this end
However incoming calls from the same number(s) are not affected
Just completed quiet line tests with both corded & cordless phones & all clear atm
Would it be worth me completing any of the other tests, from my end ?Huh
1. Ringback (COMPLETED)
2. Quiet Line Tests (COMPLETED (All Clear)
3. Fast test
4. Fast cleanse
Perhaps I was to quick to dismiss the engineer for the noise rectifying itself, atm
Will still monitor & see how it goes
I did have an outage earlier that may help to explain things a wee bit

Re: People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

Does this issue only happen with one person in particular or are you able to replicate the issue with different people?

Re: People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

Hi Chris
so far this has been replicated via only 1 number on both outgoing / incoming calls
Will continue to monitor & complete any applicable test(s), for now

Re: People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

FWIW,
Fast test and Fast cleanse can only be carried out by the engineer, (ID required)

Re: People say ots a bad line on outgoing call(s)

For reference
This mornings outage for a few hours was as a result of a CAT fighting with an underground cable
Guess who won the battle / war, (temporarily as now fixed)
Also next week Friday morning, Western Power will be installing a new electric meter as a result
In respect of the above
I have also replicated the issue with Scottish Power as I called them & (they had trouble hearing & understanding me) then they rang me back & (could hear me as clear as a bell)
