The OP should look at fitting a master socket faceplate filter of the
type that has a through connection from the back of the faceplate,
allowing the unfiltered ADSL signal to be connected pernamently e.g.
ADLnation XTE2005. Then connect the current twisted-pair phone cable to
the bedroom computer to the straight through connection and all the rest
of the home wiring to the filtered connection. This will remove the
ADSL signal from all the house wiring at the master socket, except on
the cable to the computer. This cable should only connect the A and B
wires to a single, twisted pair, with *no* other wires connected. The
socket in the bedroom should then be replaced with an RJ11 type so it
won't accept a dumb telephone, or with a filtered socket (e.g. XTF85),
if a local phone/fax modem is needed.



Interesting John

Hadn't come across this product. As you say it makes extension of the
ADSL part on a separate twisted pair cable (mayb even CAT V with it's
heavier construction than regular phone cable) easy.
Clever having the AB leg at the rear - I guess this is a filtered A/B
leg rather than a direct connection to the BT A/B line.
Pity they can't spell in the website though:-

No, it *IS* a direct connection to the A/B.

Phones/dial-up modems/faxes/skyboxes are be connected through the
filter, adsl modems/routers need to connect to the non-filtered line.

The "ADSL filter" does *nothing* on the ADSL side, other than providing
the RJ11 socket. The "ADSL filter", getting the ADSL signal separated
from the telephone signals, is actually part of the ADSL modem's design.

The ADSL filter really a "phone filter", in that it is a low-pass filter
that sits on the phone side to prevent the ADSL part of the signal (up
to more than 1MHz) being sent to the unmatched telephone-type devices.
It also has the function of preventing high frequency noise picked up or
generated by the telephony devices interfering with the low-level ADSL
signal. For more information see the circut diagram at the bottom of:
http://www.adslnation.com/support/filters.php. From this page, you'll
see that not all ADSL filters are alike. Personally. I've probably
thrown away more "plug-in" filters that I've done fixes, especially
those provided "free"...

The fact that the filter does nothing on the ADSL side is the reason for
installing one good filter as close to the incoming line as possible.
Practically, this means using one of the master-socket faceplate
replacement types. With this, you prevent the ADSL signal being sent
all over your house wiring, where it has to contend with all sorts of
high frequency interference sources, not to mention having to run
alongside an unbalanced "ring" wire acting like an aerial.

There's a good blog on ADSL wiring at: http://yarwell.blogspot.com/2005

I have just fitted my new BT Iplate and the SN margin has more than
doubled from 9.5 to 22!

Thanks for the link, Bob.
I ordered one yesterday and it arrived in the post today.
Fitted it a few minutes ago and - bingo! Speed has gone from its usual 1 Meg
to 1.9 Meg immediately!.
Well worth the money.
Now to buy a decent router and get rid of my USB "frog"...

If you're at all interested in making use of VoIP telephony, I can
thoroughly recommend the AVM Fritz!Box range:

No probs. It's actually one of my ex work colleagues who's selling them
via that website so it's a bit of a shameless plug if I'm honest

I fitted mine this morning. Instant increase in sync rate from about
2500kbps to 5000kbps. Just waiting on BT Wholesale's DLM kit to increase
my throughput now.

Well worth the money.

Agreed, I'm well happy with the above results!

As a result of this thread, I ordered one too, got it today. My sync
speed has jumped from 1856Kbps to 2272. If my memory of the thresholds
is right, if the router can hold the connection that'll give me a 2MB
link up from 1.5. Not bad for 15 quid.

(I already run my line with a lower-than-usual SNR ratio, I've seen it
hold a connection at just 2dB and VoIP works fine there. Mind you, the
previous firmware on my DG834GT used to fall over at around 4dB. I'm
running 1.02.09-UberGT)
