Yeah, its definitely the rather pronounced slope its got that is
the problem when you call someone like Paul with an average line.
The S/N is fine, the S/N on the call Russ did from FNQ was due to
the S/N on that line, which was bad enough to be audible.

Your 7db on your local loop isnt the cause of your problems to Paul.


You also now have a problem that this call with a Courier at your
place is completely different to what you get with the Sportster
V34+ WITH that classic shift of the entire curve too. Urk.

Corse you really should repeat the test today with both a Sportster
V34+ and a Courier on your line, calling Dave, to eliminate the
possibility that Telstra has changed something about your line.

The Sportster V34+ data is from a message dated 16-Mar of yours.
