Hi,
I wouldnt have thought it would cause any problems getting broadband, if
youve already applied and had it rejected ask your ISP to resubmit the
order and mention the rectified loop.
It is possible though that the loop could cause problems with an active
ADSL line, either causing random disconnections or a loss of sync. If you
need the Sky box connected then you might to try swapping the lead for a
new one, youll probably find that it is damaged and the copper pair
inside are touching at some point.
With Regards,
Dave,
