Re: Fw: Further to my ADSL Faceplate Question

["domdevitto" <dom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When it's cold water in the cabs and pits just stays put, and doesn't
inter=
fere with signals any more than it was.

When it's warmer, it sweats into components/connections that it wasn't in
b=
efore, messing around with signals.

Though contraction when cold can also mess with the connections, water
ingr=
ess seems to be a much more notable problem.

It's probably worth reporting to BT, in case this results in a engineer
cab=
clean - not likely, but worth a shot.
