I can check
To be honest, I'm not really sure.

The system we were trialing was an early system and it was a very bulky item as it was the first phase equipment from a now defunct company called first Pacific networks, they were taken over by General Instrument/Jerrold who in turn became part of motorola ie: Motorola Broadband.

I have no idea who's equipment it is, and it's possible that there is no battery backup these days, It is possible that they somehow feed a low voltage supply down the coax to the house but it would have to by-pass the isolator and in effect break all the rules. I guess the rules are different in Southern Ireland so I dont have much of an idea.

If the telephone has a power supply connected this could be the offending device, I guess the problem could also be something to do with a supply fed down the coax if there is no isolator and mains managed to get connected to it.

I am making guesses here though
