Vonage Some thoughts….

Some thoughts….
First, DO disconnect from the Telco at the NIU. If the problem persists....
I would not blame small gauge wire from the TA to the jack, this should work fine.
I had a similar problem in on older (~45 years) house that had seen some DIY additions to the phone wiring. There was this annoying hum/clicking on the line. This was when I had POTS, but the principles will apply to checking your home lines with Voip, too.
It was old-fashioned RGBY phone line. I determined it wasn’t a phone issue by connecting each phone directly to the NIU. The analogous check with Voip is connecting the phone to the TA and you said this fixed the hum, so the issue is clearly with your wiring, not your phone and not from the TA upstream.
I then went to each phone jack in the house, starting furthest from where the phone line came in the house and isolated each by unscrewing the wires from the jack. After about 4 tries, the hum went away. I was able to isolate the problem to a spare bedroom.
Following the wire, I found that it had been run along the floor where the carpet met the wall. One of the tacks holding the carpet down had penetrated the line connecting G to Y. Removing the offending line and replacing with a line run from the attic solved the problem.
Also to consider, if your phone line is run parallel to and close to a power line for a long distance, you can get 60 Hz hum bleeding to the phone line. If someone had an AC device on the BY pair of the phone line (such as a transformer for a princess phone), the same thing can happen.
Good luck.

• Hi,
I have Comcast cable service into a Motorola SB4100 cable modem. WGR614v4
• 1.unplug all extensions
2.test a phone at each jack one at a time
3. if hum on
• Your test results are great and so the problem does not lie in your internet connection.
• Thanks!
I did disconnect the incoming phone lines. I'll do the room by room
• I've had the HBB1 for about a month now and it did more than just solve my problem!
