Hi,
Im looking for a technical answer to why my phone line behaves so
oddly. Whenever its windy (varying degrees) my phone line goes bad.
This goes from minor faults which causes my slight phone static
,broadband attenuation/snr to fluctuate and Loss of signal faults to
major faults where my phone has no dial tone and incoming calls are so
static ridden its unusable. What I dont understand is why when i have a
problem; it magically fixes itself after a few days.
for instance i went away for new year. before i went everything was
great. it was really windy over new year. when i got back the phone was
dead as above. it seems like the act of trying to use an unusable line
somehow made it fix itself. is there an explanation for this behavior?
thx
andy
A dirty electrical connection can be cleaned by passing current through it.
An "onhook" telephone results in zero current flowing in the phone line's
pair of wires.
I have a similar problem on my line. It frequently gets noisy due to a bad
connection somewhere in the loop. I find that the best way to fix the
problem is to get my phone to ring and pick it up in the middle of the
ringing. This causes a fairly high current to flow (for a short amount of
time). This always (temporarily) fixes the noise.
