Hello,
I was recently assigned to a building where the cabling is real old and poorly maintain. The building's owner refuses or ignores requests to fix and/or upgrade the copper lines. So I am in the band aid situation. Anyway I am getting severe static on multiple lines. I replace the phones(analog) and at times that solves the static but then it comes back later. Replacing the phones and/or re punching down the lines is a temp situation. Any ideas what is causing the static? Is there anyway I can fix this issue under the before mention constraints? Thank you.
