I have the same problem as you, My Dad has been sucked into the 5/month "unlimited" service, because e has a mobile phone with them. He says the problems don't affect him, he only uses the internet once a month to check our accounts, etc.
Just keep telling him to change, it will annoy him and will eventually change to a decent ISP. I've been asking him repeatedly to change to ADSL24 for months now, And with Orange clueless to why we haven't had a connection for 3 weeks now, he finally gave in and rang ADSL24 up yesterday, He is going to order it hopefully on Monday too.
I just hope we can get the MAC code out of them, Ive heard so many stories about them refusing to let go. x:

Apparently they are the "ring" wires which were needed for the older type phones. If they're left connected they act as antennae.
Interesting thanks. However, reading the link you posted I was worried by this
The phones still ring because they are using micro-filters and each of these has its own ring capacitor on the phone outlet side of the filter. If you disconnect the ring wire it would be prudent to re-connect it if you move out of the property, so the next occupier's phones work as expected
Anyway it looks more compliated than I imagined it to be. I'd probably rather go for some quality filters instead

If you fit an ADSL+Voice faceplate to the NTE5 BT box then apparently you don't need to remove the ring wires as this totally separates ADSL and voice signals.
I believe the "re-connect" advice is prudency.....in case a non-DECT phone is subsequently connected.

I see now. Just read this http://www.clarity.it/telecoms...eplate.htm
I know it's not the best situation, but I prefer my router in the office with the PC hard wired onto the LAN port. If I feel brave, I may have a go at removing all but 2 and 5 on the sockets
Before i screw up my telephone line, I need to take out all the wires apart from 2 and 5 in my master socket and my upstairs extension. Once thats done my router should be reset and it will adjust over the next few hours to the new which should be higher SNR rating, yes?
Now i found the wires won't just "pull out" infact they don't wanna come out at all. What now? Shall i give them some force or leave them alone? Iv'e only tried the extension socket so far.
Also if i take them from the master socket, the extension can't use them anymore anyway can it? Or do they will act as an antenna?
Edit: Update: I got the wires out of my extension now, will do my master socket later.

When did you last reboot the router (to gauge the CRC errors in comparison). Can you post back in a few days time too
Here is 3 hours later, Getting there, only had 1 disconnections as of now. Noramlly i would have gave up by now.
