BENORMOUS Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 After a frustrating few week of hit and miss gameplay I decided to take a look at my wiring that comes from underground from the cabinet to my front door,here is what I found,the blue wire as you can see is damaged and the copper was visable which is obviously not a good sign,I grabbed the blue wire to take a closer look and it broke off in my hand leaving me with no internet,now I know I shouldnt be touching this stuff as it's a job for openreach but i decided to drive straight to maplins and buy some jelly crimps and take on the job myself,i cut the whole black cable back by about 2 inch then stripped off the black protective cover to reveal some beautiful untouched wiring fresh copper,I twisted them together nice and tight and jelly crimped it back to my internal wiring where it enters my home,my connection and gameplay is back on point again There's so many factors that can cause a bad line and I've finally found mine after living in house for 4 years Happy days ColonicBoom, nffcbaz72, bagsta69 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENORMOUS Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Cheers Fraser and yeah it would have been a pain in the ass getting them to come take a look,I've never even been behind that plastic box at the front door but I'm so glad I did,couldnt beleive when I grabbed the wire (with care) and it just broke in half lol shocking job they had done,cod felt better straight away but battlefield felt even better I'm a happy gamer with peace of mind Netduma Fraser and Alex49H 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 God job mate, when I started having massive spikes and dropped packets all the time I got the bloke who lives across for me to come and take a look. (he's an ex BT engineer) Turns out that the filters in that box that you plug everything into had gone bad. (about 3 years old) We replaced them and no dropped packets no spikes. Id already spent over 3 days with BT support people on the phone with no joy. My neighbour said that for general internet usage I probably wouldn't have noticed but for online gaming it was a big no no. I used do a bit of sound and lighting AV tech stuff and I would hate using anybody else cabling. One bad connector is all it takes. Happy Hunting mate.

iAmMoDBoX Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 What have I told you about sarcasm and the inter web? PMSL hahahaha Somehow I knew you'd be the one to comment on that... But seriously though, Netduma, step up your game. This is unacceptable. bagsta69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nicely done Ben! Would've taken them ages to come out and fix that for you. They would be fitting a new faceplate and down at the exchange doing a lift and shift before they dreamed of looking there anyway bagsta69, BENORMOUS and BIG__DOG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonicBoom Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I reckon the cable melted due to the immense smackdown I put on you in CoD. The destruction was so epic that I ruptured the infrastructure in Yorkshire. N3CR0, BENORMOUS and Alex49H 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
