Evening gents!

I hope that you are all fending off "Man-Flu" successfully!

On the line I am connected to, there is only one socket and I am plugged in to the test socket. I have tried numerous difference filters but the sync speed never changes. The only thing that I could change is the "flat" telephone extension wire from the back of the router to the filter. The wiring from the BT socket to where it leaves the house is only 6 foot long and there doesn't look like there is any electrical equipment or wires interfering with the signal.
Do you think that an I-Plate or disabling the Bell Wire would make a difference to the noise or sync speed? (as I really don't like giving any more money than I have to to BT!)

Thank you all again!
Helen.

The best fix is to get a filtered face plate not an iplate http://www.adslnation.com/products/xte2005.php If you've got the BT modern master socket its an easy swap. If you have no wired extensions from the master socket you shouldn't have a bell wire. A decent shielded RJ11 would be better than a flat cable and making sure that its only a short run from socket to router.

There is only about 6 feet of cable needed between the back of the router and the adsl filter.

I'm going to have a look into this tomorrow.

Thanks again for this!
