Hi Goldoni,

The fault you have described sounds like "Ring Trip". It can be caused by a faulty line card, extensions, earth's or shorts on the drop. I know you have ruled out internals, so that would leave the drop cable to your house, i.e short or earth, or it could come from the line card.

I would still put the call through, and just ask for the line to be tested for earths and shorts, and ask for the possibility of the line card being checked out.

Hope this helps a little
