Re: How long will it take to "Fix My Line"

ok had a look, this problem is down to something called your channel signal to noise ratio, it is extremely low this is an area issue on your cable and is not something that is specific to you, the rep that you spoke to earlier today has forwarded these details on to faults so that they can investigate where the noise is coming into the cable to cause this SNR to be so low. that is all the information that there is at this time, and im sorry you will just have to bear with it while it is investigated

this could cause a slow connection because of packet loss
OR no connectivity at sometimes at all

Good update.

Presumably this customer is entitled to some form of monthly discount as this is more than a "fault"?

Thanks Nostra greatly appreciated

You are 100% correct about it.
Because I pinged Google.com and sometimes I would get 0% loss and sometimes 25% and sometimes 100% lol

Probably a few DIY split offs to blame.

Do you think you can look at how my cancelation process is going?
I sent in the CANCEL Letter twice. and also emailed it
1 Letter to Coventry
1 Letter to local NTL Place
1 Email to a Customer Service guy

If you can have a look I can PM you my Account Number.
