I was watching the swearing parrot videos this arvo, its just really nice to be able to check stuff out on the TV.

When I can afford it I shall get the phone line put in to the living room and perhaps one for my desktop. But all in all, impressed so far.

Agreed ...

I have 8 phone points in my house so far and they're growing ...

You can put them in yourself?

It's what I do for a living Sam ...

Wish I could bloody well do it.

I think we need one mainly for the T box, but I will probably get one for my desktop.

How long is the training to do your job? You have been there for quite a while now.

You know at the end of the day, altho diff cable IS used, a bit of speaker wire would do it you know!

I was took on as a trainee and threw in the deep end (out on me own) after 3 months, they normally allow 12 for a trainee. Been with same mob for over 2 years now.

You know IF it's possible to hide this lil piece of speaker wire, or better still some proper stuff (5mm thick) preferrably, then you've only gotta get one of these:



Plug in the wall, one phone in one, and long cable into the other. Run it to where you want your modem / T-Box and away you go! ...

Or if you don't need the phone where the wall plate is then just run the cable from there to where you want it ... too easy! ...

As I say speaker wire does work, but would be best to use something that's made for it.

I'd pop round and do it for you Sam, but the cab fare will kill me ...

Every bloody time my phone rings, the TV and internet cut out - without fail I cant phone faults line now as I get angry because they script read and have poor English, last week the guy said he couldnt understand me at all.

So I shall have to call them tomorrow.

Is your phone plugged into a socket in the wall direct - or is it plugged in via what is known as a 'filter' - is there a white dangly box your phone cable plugs into near the wall, or is your phone cable plugged directly into the wall.

google - ADSL Filter for pictures of what this white dangly box should look like - if you dont got one of those -that is likely your 1st problem.

I have a dangly box splitter socket that plugs into the phone socket in the wall.

I am going to make a cup of tea and swallow some painkillers for my sore throat Bloody hell I hope my TV doesnt cut out any more tonight, I feel shite and could do without the hassle.

My money is on dodgy filter. They're normally ok, but have come across faulty ones, or even better NO filter in line ...

You got more than one right Sam?

every phone plugged in the house needs one - basically anything connected to that phone line needs to go through one of those splitters.

Yours could be duff - they are about 30$ at BigW /Woolworths/Dick Smith for new ones. You could try it at a mates house or try a mates one at your house.

I think Sam has more than one. The modem woulda come with one and I again think she woulda had one from before.

I'll post you one if you aint Sam?

Just checked the splitter socket and its the new one, Mr PP put it in, we have a spare though so it must have come with two.

Ill phone them up tomorrow.

Swap em and phone your home, see how you go.

Can't see it being anything else, but you never know!
