Hey guys,
Have a friend who is having major problems with their DSL sync dropping constantly due to shoddy indoor wiring and a crazy extension cable setup. They really need a central splitter installed at the ETP and a new jackpoint installed near their modem.

I can't be bothered crawling around their roof so anyone recommend a person/company for this out Howick way (Auckland).

There's a couple of likely suspects on this very forum. IIRC Cyril7 may be one of them?

Hi, bit far for me to travel from Wellington, but Coffeebaron (Fraser) should see you right.

+1. He's a good guy.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Cheers for the fun job Zeon :)
After the big crawl through the ceiling space running new cable, installing splitter, new jack point etc; there was all this static on the line and very poor broadband. Couple more hours later, all sorted - a fault in the cable somewhere between the demarc and ceiling space :(
