Hi all.

Had a problem with my phone dropping out.  The chorus faults guy came by and repaired it.  He took out the master filter and asked me to add filters to each phone, which I did.  All was good, although my adsl dropped from 9mbit to 8mbit.  Not a big deal...

When I looked under the house, he had cut off connectors and just twisted the wires together!  I thought this was weird and took a photo (attached), and lo and behold our phones are now crackling and we have dropouts on ADSL.

Anyone else seen this sort of wiring???

call whoever you called in the first place to get the work done and stress that they have done an extremely poor job and they need to come back and fix it
