What type of connection is that? Cable? VDSL? Mobile? From the ISP name it sounds like a cable company.

Edit: I guess VDSL, as I just found their website. :)

Yes VDSL.
I am paying for 100M since last 3 years but they (the infrastructure company which is basically a landline telephone company called Bezeq) can't supply it and keep promising to upgrade to fiber. The ISP is called Netvision.
I am not really bothered about the speed as I am not downloading anything heavy normally.

OK, the polarity should not really make any difference at all, but in the old days when I was there, white would be the primary connection, so white to A and orange to B, stems from the days we had white/blue, white/orange, white/green etc.
However, I doubt this is the problem at all. The " shhhhh " sound you can hear in quite mode, ie with phone mike muted, is indicative of a " hr " earth contact on the copper feeding to the house. This is unlikely to be on the " drop cable " as you put it, ( dropwire in old BT speak ) but more likely the connection on the distribution point ( DP ) Primary Connection Point ( PCP ) also known as a cab ( short for cabinet ) or Secondary Connection Point ( SCP ) also called a pillar. ( Them weird looking "stone" coloured posts you all look at, and wonder what they are ) or more likely in an underground joint in the cable ( AKA wet joint )
If your internet provider is sure they are not to blame, ask them to ask BT ( Open wretch ) to investigate for line contacts.
Best I can advise without access to the LTS from the local exchange!

Thanks for answering, @Milamber i will try the quite line test again, and if I get the same result, then I will raise it as fault on the phone line.
 
The line has just dropped, and gone to the next ip profile.

It's now on all the errors start to clock up :-(
 
You have a bad connection along the line (corroded or loose jelly crimp probably), you need to get onto the ISP to get a BT Openreach (not a subcontractor though) tech out to check and repair the line (or swap you onto a good pair that works) or you will be stopping payments until they fix it... :)
 
Just phoned Vivaciti again, about my 0.33mbps throughput.

And there has been an update from open leach, a problem has been found at my node, and more bandwidth has been actioned.

And the work will be completed by Friday.

So let's hope this sorts it out!
 
Given the inconvenience you've been subjected to I'd press for kind of compensation. It's usually so many months of FOC broadband - try for 6 months as you've been complaining, without satisfactory resolution, for so long.
 
So far this is the best my line has been :-) and a very good ping time.

I've got some String unravelled and waiting.
 
OMG, am I glad I live in W.London with a Virgin cable (coax, not fibre!) connection to the house (and then some PF100 to the router - but Virgin don't know that!) - nominal 70Mb/s download (base rate for my basic payment) and roughly 5Mb/s upload via my 1Gb/s Ethernet LAN most of the time, but "only" about 20-30Mb/s via the Wifi :eek:.

PS: use my SuperHub 2 in router mode only, with an ASUS WiFi router (off-hand, cant remember which one but it's 802-11N, not AC) doing most of the work.
 
OOPS - SuperHub2 is in modem mode - not router mode because that's a NO NO for that NVG unit. :-lol
