Another visit -another failure

We have had an ADSL engineer out again to the premises and it is not looking hopeful.

He seemed pretty competent - he even tried bunching pairs from the exchange to the cab to try and get a better signal. So far no synch light though.

He confirmed there are 'issues' with customers served from the cabinet (cabinet 96 apparently) and they are beginning to suspect a problem in the cabinet itself. I know that there is only a 'V' cable to the cabinet (whatever this is) and that means there is a poor signal even at the cabinet. Given that there is possibly 2KM more (poor quality) cable to our house I am not sure we are ever going to get ADSL unless they fix the wiring to the cabinet or start installing miniDSLAMs in the cabinets.
