Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum.
Bell Canada has spent over 1 month (actually I have) NOT being able to find the Network Interface Device (NID) in my house (which they installed ~ possibly 40 years ago).
They finally allowed the buried wire service to locate the area of entry into the house but cannot (or will not) trace it further
There has been no renovation but Bell says I have to have the walls torn apart...
Is there anything UNIQUE about telephone wire (cable) that can be picked up on some sort of instrument so they can trace the wire / cable inside the house? (from where it enters the house?)
(The box is inside)
There is a largish gray box (near the location of the cable / wire outside) that looks like this:
"Network interface device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_interface_device
Top right: (lower box) but the tech would not open it b/c he said it is too big and that the 2 cables are not phone related.
The word “INTERMATIC” is written on it
Could this be what was used 40 years ago?
PLEASE ADVISE!
Thank you!
