| 327153 | 2005-02-22 17:54:00 | Correct. One last matter, if you are changing over from a three-wire to a two wire system, some of the old grey-encased red/white/blue/green phone cables did not use twisted pairs and are susceptible to interference. If possible ,it is best to rewire with computer network cable. I used Cat 5E thoughout and the noise levels on my phone dropped significantly. If at all possible, put the splitter as close as possible to the point of entry for the phone line and run a new cable from the splitter connection direct to s dedicated adsl outlet.

| 327154 | 2005-02-23 02:07:00 | Of course, it's pins 2 and 5 in the BT sockets which are the only ones used in the 2-wire system. A "classic" phone, with a real bell won't ring off that. Unless it's plugged into a Master jack (which can still be used on the 2-wire system to feed such a phone;) ) or you can work out the internal phone wiring and fit the appropriate jumper. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 327155 | 2005-02-23 02:13:00 | The older 3 wire masters will probably be quite corroded and liable to causing "1 ring and call cuts off faults" by now. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 327156 | 2005-02-23 02:27:00 | The older 3 wire masters will probably be quite corroded and liable to causing "1 ring and call cuts off faults" by now. Only if all the electrical and electronic equipment in your house is in that state.;) In that case, you need to fix the roof. Telephone fittings are made to be reliable in reasonable enviroments. Anything made to NZPO or BT standards is reliable. |

| 327157 | 2005-02-23 02:38:00 | That's what Telecom thought until they realized how many jackpoints they were replacing at huge cost :-) Reasonable is an airconditioned office, NZ houses are cold by UK standards and full of water vapour.Part of the problem was that there was 50V dc across small clearances. This accelerated the corrosion and the ringing is just the last straw. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 327158 | 2005-04-06 03:44:00 | I've spent a bit of time researching ADSL splitters recently, mainly becuase i cant beliver that Telecom charges $200 to instal what appears to be a very straightforward device. Telecom approves only one 'splitter' for use in new zealand that is the one u link to in original post the mm3200 made by Marque Magnetics. Having rung the company i found they dont sell to the public, and neither do the disributors for the company, however you can get one from J.A. Russell, their secret special product code being 19631180. I've ordered one and will post later regarding what price they go for and whether they are genuine telecom approved ones etc... | Eurohoho (7394) | ||
| 327159 | 2005-04-06 09:53:00 | I've also heard that you can get them from redeal ltd, originally telecoms supply division redeal.co.nz, I havent got round to installing mine yet so Im not sure if they sell to the public but ive heard of other people who have purchased from them. Look foward to hearing how it all goes. | Hersh (7042) | ||
| 327160 | 2005-04-07 03:05:00 | hmm, yeah i tried purchasing from redial or rok pac, but they werent too keen to send one to where i live, and told me they only deal with companies.. so like screw you guys..i had to get one through JA Russell in the end who charged me 70+GST (the price given to me by the manufacturer (who wouldnt sell either) was 22+GST).. still i guess its less than the $200 that telecom the evil charges punters..and JA Russell got it overnight for me from Auckland.. yeah the product is exactly same as the one in your post and has 4 wires orange/white and blue/white....and a lot meatier than those pissant filters you get from DSE.. so i'll see |

| 327161 | 2005-04-07 04:25:00 | Remember that Telecom have to pay a contractor to visit, install the splitter where your line enters the house and wire through to the new jack for the ADSL modem. Then think about the hourly rate last time you had to pay someone to fix anything in the house. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 327162 | 2005-04-07 04:28:00 | sure i undestand that, the job took me 10 minutes and the price of the product costs 20 dollars for the contractor. so go figure. thats an hourly rate of um well alot more than mine anyway btw works very nicely! |
