Hi all, 

My landline and BB is with Vodafone, so posting here makes some sense.

Anyhow,

With all this rain here in Auckland and our house being below road level, the phone wiring in the street is via pole and with our house down a driveway, our wiring from the street is via undergound conduit.

The POP is mounted on the house about 30cm above the ground. Previously had a Chrous guy scratch his head in wondering why the little box was moist and showed signs of water entering it.

Guess... The water is entering at street level, running down the conduit and the result is a fountain at my POP.
Wonderful ! This perhaps explains my sometimes bad scratchy and low volume phone calls.  

So where to now?  Can I log a job with Vodafone to see if someone can seal up the point where water is entering?

The water is clear and free of dirt, so I dont think its from a crack in the conduit somewhere along the run, I suspect its from the pole where it starts its run from.

Would it pointless silicon filling the POP?  i.e. would just create a huge conduit full of water and bust somewhere else?

Cheers
Goose
