Re: Bt lines



Found this on a search thru deja, and I haven't tried it myself, but....
 
Maplin sell a privacy adapter, part number NL66W.
 
People who experienced a drop in line speed after installing sky digital fitted one of these at the master socket and regained their original line speed.
 
Don't know if this would be any help, but its interesting info no the less...

Subject: RE: [ukha_d] Bt lines

Campbell,
 
When I had 2 analogue lines I used to get 33600 on my voice line and usually 40000 on my data line (occasionally 41333).
 
After upgrading to Home Highway I plugged the same modem (Pace Voice 56) into the analogue port and got 50000 straight away.
 
Of course I now used ISDN connections but the improvement with the analogue modem was astounding.
 
Try unplugging everthing else from the line and see if you get a higher speed. If you do then a second line may help. If not, it may just be that you are too far from the exchange.

I would appreciate if any of you in the know chaps could advise is there a way I could ask BT to send a test signal to my line to check quality. I never get connections above 40000bps and rarely 38500. I believe a lot of this could be down to line quality and may consider asking bt to install a completely new routed 2nd line (if not too expensive). The original connection into house is no longer accessible. The master has been relocated to beside Comfort.
 
Any help appreciated.
Campbell
