[Gllug] [OT] Testing internal line quality

[James Goldwater]

I have a colleague/client who is having persistent trouble connecting to 
the internet via ADSL: it often requires numerous attempts to log on, 
and the connection is sometimes dropped.

AFAIK, BT insist that the line is good enough, therefore the problem may 
be in the house wiring.  Routers have been swapped out to no effect. 
Alledgedly the line goes straight into the home office, so there are no 
extra sockets and microfilter issues.

So as a quickie starter for ten, how can I measure internal line 
quality?  Is there a meaningful metric?

James.
