Re: Echo on the phone line

["Dean Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Do you mean the HomeHighway NTE and BT master socket for the HH line - or
do
you have 2 diff physical lines ?

When the BT engineer installed my HH (in the loft @ Node 0) he ran 2 cables
>from

One for the Master phone line cable going to the Master socket.
One back to the old master to feed it as an extension.

I asked why he couldn't use spare pairs in the first cable for the
extension
and he reckoned he'd had problems doing it that way and it was safer to use
seperate cabling.

Cant remember the specific problems he mentioned but I'm susre it was
something like interference/cross-talk/echo. Pretty sure the cable he used
was shielded as well. Maybe an issue with using unshielded cat 5 ?
