I am surprised that test five, direct connection to the test socket, showed a DS sync just a tad lower than all the rest. Was it performed via a lead fitted with a standard BT plug at one end and a RJ11 plug at the other?
Am I right in assuming that tests four and five were via a dangly microfilter?Yes, the aforementioned D-Link microfilter, that was probably supplied with my D-Link modem.
However I do not understand what you did for test six. Or are you showing us the result after you had reinstated everything, so that it is just a repeat of test one? ???
Foolishly, I forgot to dig out my BT to RJ-11 lead for that test. I used a D-Link Microfilter plugged into the test socket, with my usual RJ-11 to RJ-11 lead plugged into that.
hopefully it'll do good when installed on relative's setup, which has a lot of straggling flat untwisted bellwire-enabled extension wiring.
Ive heard that the BT Openreach ones are better because they are PASSIVE filters whereas ADSLnation XTE ones are ACTIVE and these can fail quicker..or something like that, Iam not 100% sure on that, perhaps B'Kat knows?
