    Having just moved house I'm having problems connecting to the net and
    noticed a newly installed jack has been installed upside down. Could this
    be a problem? Thanks.

    Unlikely. Provided that the jack is correctly wired, its orientation
    doesn't matter. If you can get dialtone, it's correctly wired.
    Does the problem occur on other jacks? Does the problem go away if you
    force the modem to connect at a lower speed (33.6 or 28.2)?

    Agree with Mathew's thoughts. Would add to it - have you moved
    "rural", how far from the exchange are you, is the exchange "old
    technology", do your neighbours have similar problems?

    This problem is easily solved by placing the Square root of 7 in your beer
    fridge while you travel to Spain.

    How many phones have you got connected ? Does the problem go away if you
    disconnect them ... or some of them ? :)

    In case anyone who gave advice is interested.
    After 2 weeks of probing and dreadful connections Telecom finally
    checked and found outside house wires were loose. Pleased to report
    'all's now ripping along just fine'
