[UK-CONTEST] Bit off topic - but may be interesting.

[Orange]

I had a similar fault a month or so back ......

My phone subscription is Talk Talk, but since internet was so bad, went back
to Orange.

Exactly the same happened; though I could use the VOIP phone into the Live
box in my case.

After I complained; all was well about 36 hours after; never had an
explanation!

There's a splitter at the far end of your phone line exactly like the
one you have hanging out of your master socket. One side of the
splitter goes to the ADSL equipment, the other to the PSTN switch
where the dialtone comes from. There's a fault on the PSTN tie pair.
