Sounds very much like you just turn off the 'detect dial tone' option (assuming its called that in Sky-ology)

I'm not quite sure what you think ntl will be able to do for you? ntl aren't going to be in receipt of any revenues from your Sky account, so I'm not quite sure why you think ntl will do anything about this for you? Your failed install is Skys problem, not ntls... :erm:

Re: phone line voltage output
 

yes , thanks guys , i have summised from all this , my ntl line is up to it , the sky installer bull****ted me as it was too late on the day for him to be bothered with it , again thanks for all your help everyone .

Re: phone line voltage output
 

The voltage is supposed to be 48V ..... if lower can cause problems with some panasonic handfree phones.

I had this problem, got an engineer out to bump the voltage to 48V.

I suggest you do the same.
