Re: Echo on the phone line

Neither did I to be honest, but I needed the cables to go in some trunking
that was due to be buried in a wall and tiled over shortly afterwards, I
figured a few more pairs from the BT "entry point" to Node 0 was
never going
to hurt anyone. He'd already given me a funny look when I asked for it in
the loft so I wasn't going to quibble too much over how he wanted to do it
;-)

HH at my previous house was done all on the one cable. (over a run of about
4 m)
