How can I tell if a telephone line fault is my responsibility or my service provider's responsibility?
In theory, this should be a simple case of carefully removing the lower front plate of your master socket. This should disconnect all internal wiring & reveal full access to a test socket. If you have no dial tone or a bad line here, this would normally indicate a supply-side fault. It's also worthwhile ensuring that no damage to the supply side wiring has been caused by you or anybody working at your property. (Builders, gardeners, painters, etc) Ensure that dampness is not the route cause.
