| 285230 | 2004-10-28 00:25:00 | Just a query... I want to get ADSL connected next month but we have an alarm connected to our phone system - it is no longer monitored just connected. Would the alarm need to be disconnected for ADSL to work properly? I don't want to pay the big $ to get a proper splitter put in... |

| 285231 | 2004-10-28 00:30:00 | Well since it's connected to your phone then it is a monitored alarm, so Xtra's terms and conditions REQUIRE you to have a splitter put in. | Ashley Matthews (550) | ||
| 285232 | 2004-10-28 00:34:00 | I think it would be less expensive to get it disconnected from the line and just by jack splitters for the rest of the house. But since the alarm is no longer "phoning home" but is still connected to the phone system - does it make any difference? Has anybody been in this boat? |

| 285233 | 2004-10-28 00:43:00 | The problem is that the alarm dialler may absorb much of the ADSL signal, thats your only concern as I see it. Disconnecting the alarm from the phone line would be the simplest way to go, as its no longer "monitored". That does not imply that the alarm will not try and access the line, just that its not answered. Your problem here may be that although you own the alarm, you may not have any easy access to it in order to disconnect the phone. |

| 285234 | 2004-10-28 00:43:00 | How about simply disconnecting the alarm from the phone line? | POTUS (5276) | ||
| 285235 | 2004-10-28 00:48:00 | I've seen the split that has been done into the main line in the roof - this goes directly to the alarm box . I think I could probably just disconnect it myself and rejoin the wires in the main line . . . hmm . . . maybe something has to be changed on the alarm before this can be done . Better get an alarm guy out to be sure :D |

| 285238 | 2004-10-28 00:56:00 | The alarm is no longer required to be monitored but if a splitter was put in for the alarm and then I used jack filters for the rest of the house could there be an issue with the amount of splitters being used? We are talking about 5 splitters being used (inc . alarm) for approx 7 devices . . . |

| 285239 | 2004-10-28 01:00:00 | Pretty sure telecom recommend the full install when running that amount of devices,do they have any guidelines on their site? | metla (154) | ||
