Re: Big Node0 switchover! a couple of qustions...

Hi Paul,

I recently upgraded to a 16MB service and I was getting an unreliable
10MB, not great considering I am just 500m from the exchange!

A contact at BT suggested this new plate for the master socket. It has
the filter fitted in the consumer plate of the BT socket meaning you
don't have to fit any other filters later on and it has connections on
the back to extend the connection for ADSL if it is not local. BT
recommend CAT5 for this for distances of more than 10m.

I got my one from Solwise http://www.solwise.co.uk/adsl_splitters.htm
look at the ADSL-NTEFACE.

As you suggest it only needs 1 pair of wires. I now get a rock solid
16MB link.

Cheers
Ian

audio - I've really missed whole house announcements like telephone
caller info etc via James' great xAP switchboard app :-)

running this through particular twisted pairs? I presume only two
conductors are used in the ADSL output anyway???

over Cat5 if using the Cat5 to BT adaptors (which I have but have
never used) i.e. which Cat5 connectors do the two BT line feeds go onto?
