I'm having the same problem loud crackling on the line and cant hear the person at the other end. Yesterday the hospital was trying to contact me and I couldn't hear the doctor and he couldn't hear me. Its a serious problem, have done al the checks - plugging a cordless phone into the main socket etc, but the problem is still there. Tried to get the phone line checked using the phone trouble shooter but all I get ( several times) is "Oops something went wrong." To talk to plusnet the wait time is currently 40 minutes! Can anyone help?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Hi @Alfaman and welcome to the Community Forums.
I'm sincerely sorry to hear you're having problems with your phone service especially given the current climate. When testing your connection there's no external issues showing so I have raised a fault for you and it looks like we will need to book and engineer to come investigate further. If you could please update the fault ticket I've raised on your account and give us a nudge on here after doing so and we'll happily get this booked in for you.
Your fault ticket can be seen here.

Dear All,
Many thanks for your help. Plusnet replied promptly and said that they had tested the line, there didn't appear to be any faults, but the checks I had done indicate that the fault must be external to the property. An engineer will be sent out to investigate.
Muchos gracias!
Alfaman

Dear All,
All fixed - Open Reach were here at 10.00 am and left at 3.00 pm. Took a long time - checked all the connections along the road , and finally found the fault which was at the cabinet about a mile or so down the road. Clear as a bell now. Thanks to Ben Devine and Open Reach! Excellent service.
P.S. This fault might have been there for months but I hardly ever use the landline - always the mobile, so I wouldn't have known. It was by chance that the hospital rang me on the home phone. Open reach guy said that if not fixed, it would have affected my broadband connection.
Alfaman.
