  • Just having this problem now, but our NID lacks the test jack. We supposedly had the NID replaced when we moved in last year, but I guess they didn't get the hardware up to date. And our home line's issue is more time centered, as in it's down around 3am, to about sunrise, with the exception of right now, as it's just about 9pm. This is so strange...you never realize how important it is until you lose it.

  • Thank you for posting your videos for all to see.

  • This video is very helpful. Cheers to you guys. If viewrs need to see pictures of telephone wiring devices, check this site: fixyourhome.blogspot.com. The site has large diagrams that can help.

  • @biondatiziana I know right?

  • Very clear and nicely done. I wish my own service provider were as helpful. Thanks!

  • Don't have 1

  • A clear case of operator malfunction.

  • I'm off to hack my neighbors NID and steal some internets for me.

  • some old houses dont have that NID set up, older houses only have 2 screw sockets thats holding up the wire into it coiled up one side red and the other side green.
