NID, best way to check if it's you or them. As to house wiring it's sure a lot easier to diagnose runs if you have a way to separate them. Home runs from jacks back to a central block are a good start. On 1/25/2010 1:37 PM, Rick Glazier wrote: The Phone Network disconnect?

[phone] I think internal phone lines have 4 wires (2 lines). Normally, I see these as Red, Green, Yellow, and Black. No need to further confuse with various White w/stripe wires. I leave this coding to the experts. ATM! Is there any good reason to have a central phone block/box inside the house so I can troubleshoot separate lines inside the house? Like between ME and the TSID?
