50% Sync Rate Drop

Just one more thing...

If I do switch over to the other line, obviously it's full of extensions and devices, so even with microfilters, I'd imagine it'd be quite noisy. In addition, it's an older line (by about 15-20 years) so do you think I'd lose any reliability?

Thanks

Extensions are bad news, otherwise it's impossible to know until it's activated.

An ADSLNation NTE5 faceplate is very good at isolating voice and broadband at the master socket,plus also check no ring wire is present. Obviously your taking a gamble with no guarantee of success, if it's noise or interference it could well affect both lines equally, if one line has physically degraded more than the other you could well be lucky.

Well the current ADSL line is only 8 years old I'd say, whereas the voice line is probably 20/25 years old.

As is one of my lines, it's performance is similar to the newer line.

Do I still need the second router or can I return it now?

[Rik]

It shows an improvement in sync speed, so I'd be inclined to hang on to it.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but just a quick update for everyone. Still, the sync rate hasn't returned to normal so we are moving the ADSL to the other line in our house. Just one question, I know we need a microfilter for the master socket where the router is, but do we need one for each phone in the house too?

Thanks

[Rik]

You do. It's the phones that need filtering, not the ADSL.
