Sometime ago I think I read something about BT having a gizmo of some kind that worked just with the BT NT5 faceplate that boosted the performance a long line. I recall though it had to be a NT5 with the BT logo on it and not one with the Openreach or any other symbol.
As recently I have been plagued with unresetable drop outs, I have an engineer calling on Monday in a last ditch attempt by them to retain my business before I grasp the nettle and switch to Virgin Cable; (Next door gets 9.98mbps with Virgin Cable - I get 0.987 mbps with BT - but please say if this is not a good idea!
) I want to ask the BT engineer about making this NT5 alteration and installing the BT gizmo if in fact it does exist.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
PS. Although the BB is unresetable in any of the usual ways, the router, BT Voyager 2500V , often does reset itself if I pick up the phone to telephone anybody. Can anyone explain please why, & if it is significant?
