on my line the MK2 reduced attainable by about 0.6mbit and increased D1 attenuation by about 1.5db, no affect on D2 and D3 attenuation.

Initial impressions are it was helping on CRC, when I had the MK2 in most errored seconds were 1-2 CRC, without it they higher.

I still have yet to try the MK3.  I currently have the MK1 back in.

  Testing the error rate is a hard thing to do.  I had lower errors with the NTE-2005 and HG612 in a test over 3 days. However if i look back at my stats over a long period that is not really a reliable test on my line. It definitely means the error rate over the 3 days was not significantly different from the usual 3 days and was "possibly" lower.  I was currently doing a longer test but it needs weather with no nearby thunderstorms and the weather forecast week this does not look good for such testing. 

  @Chrysalis  Are you using the XyXel ... for your tests?  I noticed that the Billion 8800NL did not get so much of a gain from removing the Mark 2 as the HG612.  The 8800NL like the ZyXel makes a bit more use of the higher tones that the Mark2 attenuates so I had wondered if it do even better, but no, it was the HG612 that seemed to benefit most. Maybe the  Billion and ZyXel are able, in part, to see signal though the some of the Mark 2 attenuation and thus don't benefit so much ??  hard to say.

Haven't been able to try with the NTE-2005 but I just tried with an old ADSL filter into the test socket and my attainable was worse than the MK3.

I was surprised it made such a difference, even if the ADSL filter does have an inch of flat cable. (I bet its not twisted pair)

Code: [Select]
Generic ADSL Filter: 94816 down 31959 up
Openreach MK3:       95290 down 32318 up

Granted my drop wipe is blowing around like a chinese lantern right now. ;)  But the MK3 attainable was around the same before and after the swap.  I had expected if anything for the generic filter to be higher as its unlikely it has anything filtering the DSL side.

I was hoping to use the adapter from the Dreamcast that converts RJ11 directly to BT plug, thus not having any filter at all.  Alas, I can't find the darn thing.

Its worth noting, I do not use the phone side of this line as this is a second line just for broadband as the intention was to have dual-fibre connections and load balance them.  However a tag problem has prevented me getting fibre on my primary line.

Just to clarify --

A generic (ADSL) microfilter only contains a low-pass filter which is in the circuit between the 431A (BT) plug and the corresponding (BT) socket. The RJ11 socket is directly connected to the 431A plug.

So Alex's test is valid for the case where the circuit is not used for telephony purposes.

I have a couple of leads with a (BT) 431A plug at one end and an RJ11 plug at the other end. Usage of one of those leads "does away" with the need to use any form of adaptor.  :)

where do you get those leads from?

when I once used a nte-2005 on my adsl it lost about a mbit of sync, also on vdsl I tried it last year sometime and lost about 20mbit of sync speed.

needless to say its now in the bin :)

  An NTE-2005 should never cause such speed losses unless it was severely faulty.  The BT line goes straight through it with no more attenuation than that caused by the extra socket contacts.  The telephone side is filtered off and that would be the part that have to fail to give an adverse impact.

back to mk1, vs mk2/3

today the combo of zyxel+mk1 has had the most errors I seen for while and I think ES count is up also.  My modem even resynced earlier I assume due to errors it couldnt handle.  Even capped to 72mbit the error rate is not good compared to before, tomorrow I will restore the MK2 or put the MK3 in.

  There is some lightning in the west of Wales this evening and it is moving east, so conditions at the moment are not good for judging things.

Any on-line retailer. I either used eBay's market place or Amazon . . .  :)

Here is a link to an example.

Yes you had 80 errored seconds at 15:00 and the errors fall down to 4 at 20:00 is this down to MK1 ? no two lines are the same even with the same attenuation but looking at your before and after your CRC's and ES's looked better with the MK2

putting back in today newtron, the errors improvement maybe down to me capping the sync to 72.

it is possible the higher errors yesterday are due to the rain, and its raining again today so will see.
