Fault on line, what's classed as the boundary

Does anyone know what's classed as the boundary as I have a fault on my line and can't make outgoingf calls. I can't see any problems so I'm wondering if the Demarcation point is classed as mine or BT's. The one in my house looks as if it;s from the 1930s as it Bakelite and i've never seen one like it..any one know ...

'BUT. B U T. If there is a problem with the line between your boundary and the master socket and you require a BT engineer to visit to repair any part of this, there is a good chance you will get a bill for £127.99. This appears to be standard proceedure for BT Retail, and it is because BT Openreach bill BT Retail for the engineers time, and BT just want to pass the cost on.'
Very common misconception with customers, used to wind me it something cronic when I worked in the call centre, just because an engineer had to come into their house they thought they would be charged regardless of what the fault is when that couldn't be any further from the truth. Even if the fault is a network one the engineer probably still needs access to do line tests and get fault distance measurements from the NTE5a.
Openreach will only charge if the customer damages the line within the boundary of their property, i.e. if they cut the lead in wire. If say the capacitor in the NTE5a was faulty through old age, remember telephone lines are just electrics at the end of the day and like all electrical things they have a shelf life.
Basically an engineer will only charge if;
1. You broke the line, even by accident.
2. The fault is proved to be with your own internal wiring or anything you have plugged in, that includes BT Vision Boxes or Home Hubs because they are supplied by BT Retail and not Openreach.
3. If you call an engineer out for no reason whatsoever, but this should never happen because SP's shouldn't go making appointments for no reason.

  • When on some apps I.e Facebook my iPad keeps crashing and returning to what I class as the home page. Any ideas?, When on some apps I.e Facebook my iPad keeps crashing and returning to what I class as the home page. Any ideas?

    When I'm browsing some apps my IPad is automatically closing the page down and returning the main home page. I'm concerned this could be some sort of virus and wondering what I can to stop this happening.

    H gave you the right answer BUT he didn't explain it very well!  I never "backed up" or "restored", so I wouldn't know what he was talking about either!  But now I do:
    If your Apps keep closing (linked with or without Facebook): Go to a desktop or Laptop computer only and log on  to iTunes and delete the App (like Jackpot Party.) that keeps crashing.
    Then you have to plug in the device you are using that the apps crash on and use iTunes to restore your iOS device back to factory settings.  ( After you sync and back up your device to iTunes!) 
    Instructions are here on how to sync, backup and restore your mobile device (ipad, iphone, ipod, etc): 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    After restore, go to iTunes store and download the App again ( if it was a game, all levels/coins will still be there!)
    I tried everything else, this is the only thing that worked! And it worked great!!

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music

  • How Do You Print What OS X Renders and What You See Like the Lines on a Table on OpenOffice?

    Hi. How do you print what you OS X's graphics is rendering (what you see is what you get). I'm trying to print a calling card on OpenOffice Apache, latest but it would not print the guidelines (the lines when you use table, columns and rows) and it would only print the letters.
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

    If the lines are printing but they are too faint to see them easily, then there could be a rendering setting that could improve the line density.
    But if the lines are not at all visible then maybe the application is set not to print them. So check the Preferences or the printing options for OpenOffice? There might be a setting about the printing of gridlines.
    FYI - MS Excel has the gridlines disabled for printing but they can be enabled via the Excel print dialog.

    Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

  • What does noise of the line mean?

    What's noise on the line mean and how do you know if you have got it?

    soapy is part right. Audible noise is easy to identify and indicates a problem with the line; and is likely to be associated with high frequency noise. What actually matters for broadband is the high frequency noise; which you can't hear. It is very difficult (impossible?) to detect without special equipment. You may be able to guess that it is there either from audible noise, or from the behaviour of your broadband.
    You will have difficulty deducing much from the behaviour of your broadband unless you use an unlocked modem.

    What is forwarded when " as in-line text" is selected in the drop-down box for forwarding a message. i.e. are attachments forwarded with the message or not?

    Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
    Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
    The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
    Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
    The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

    my iphone 4s has no reception since 2 weeks and the UK carrier says it is apple fault as I can't even see the imei number. What should I do?

    A missing IMEI # is a critical failure. Usually the result of jailbreaking/hacking.
    Regardless of the cause, the phone will need to be replaced. There is no way to correct a missing IMEI.
