I've been suffering with telephone lines for quite sometime now, and leading to constant disconnections with my DSL router. I have tried almost everything, and nothing seems to work. I no longer know what might causing this. I have a feeling that there might be some kind of electrical interference somewhere but I don't know how to root it out. Do you guys know someone who can come over and diagnose the lines to root out the problem? Someone good, not some humpty dumpty electrician-wannabe.
Ogero been useless when it came to checking out the phone lines, they come over, and just say everything is good on their side. When in fact something keeps disconnecting me from the internet. Not to mention they come over at odd times when I'm at work, so my mom have to deal with them.
As for some info over my lines, the SnR margin is 20+ for download and 14+ for upload, however, suddenly it drops very low right before disconnecting, then comes back up instantly afterwards, but the damage of disconnection already been done. I want to know what is causing these sudden drops.

Do you have phone line filters installed on the modem phone line? If yes, have you tried replacing them / removing them?

If you are using filters that your ISP gave you (2$ filters) try getting filters from RadioShack, they have good quality ones (for around 25 000), i had speed and performance issues that got resolved with those branded filters.

Yasamoka, I have tried absolutely everything lol. The only thing that splits between the Ogero phone box downstairs and my router is a splitter (no filter inside of it). So to make it clearer, I have a new line installed from the Ogero phone box down below all the way up to my house, in there I have it attached to a normal splitter, one goes to my router, the other goes into a filter and into the walls leading to the phones. This way I have all the phones preceded by a filter. But all of this doesn't change the fact that I still had the SnR margin suddenly drop down while only connecting the router straight forward to the phone box.This is why i think something is interfering along the way.
Ironman, I'm not sure if getting this good quality filter might fix the disconnections, but doesn't hurt to try it out. Is the RadioShack hamra still open?

did you tried changing router?
I hope it is not D-Link?
Badieh
I tried 3 routers, Thomson, Technicolor, and TP-Link. Few weeks ago, I only had problems with TP-Link, it kept disconnecting for some reason, Thomson and Technicolor on the other hand were stable. Now, even those two keep disconnecting.

do you have a rg-59 cable near it? ive had a lot of problems from rg-59 before, it leaks a lot and causes interference to cables around it
Badieh
Oh, it is a possibility, because the phone line i installed passes through a small area where all the cables go through and into each floor. So there is a possibility that someone passed a TV cable through that. But is it strong enough to actually cause a constant disconnection?
Another question, is it possible to take two phone lines out of the same phone socket inside the Ogero phone box?

im not sure about a complete disconnection but im sure about effecting the quality of the line, ive had an rg-59 cable strapped with a zip tie with my other tv cables such as rca, it used to give huge amount of noise,sometimes flickering,another time i had an ethernet cable to the computer next room and there was one part where it passed with an rg-59, it greatly effected internet quality.

Thanks mate, I'll look into that!
