I recently mentioned how my speed has dropped quite a bit over a period of several months, well apparently one of my friends who lives on the opposite side of the village has had the exact same problem, except hes got to the point where his internet resynchs numerous times a day.
After talking to him today it seems its down to a major problem on the cables between Helsby (where our exchange is) and Elton (where we live). The BT Openreach guy put my mate on 3 separate circuits, checked all the wiring around his house and at the exchange and couldn't find a problem.
A problem was eventually detected on the cables between the exchange and the green street cabs in the village, apparently water his got into the cables and started corroding at the copper, the good news meaning that BT are going to have to relay the cables.
Now along with this I heard some bad news, the Openreach guy mentioned to my mate that the exchange has recently been refit with all new equipment, however because it was done before the rollout of BT Infinity, it's not looking likely we'll be seeing it any time soon
On the plus side, may main I may see in increase in Internet Speeds and a decrease in line noise!!!
