| 1341610 | 2013-05-17 03:12:00 | I decided to give VDSL a miss . If I was doing allot of uploading I may go for it but I get 15Mbits on ADSL2 where I live so I'm fine until fiber comes some time later this century.. 15mbps ADSL2+ is 50% faster than the 9mbps I was getting, and I get 25mbps on VDSL2 now too... UPS solves that issue. Pretty much, hundred bucks and it's worth having regardless coz if power goes down, internet goes down currently... Can't use Cordless phone either :p |

| 1341614 | 2013-05-17 05:07:00 | So patch both phones back to the patch panel then, and just have a 2-port ATA Adapter like the Cisco SPA112 there, running off a UPS, along with your DSL modem, Wireless router, and switch, as well as maybe a cordless phone base station. Wouldn't use much power at all! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1341615 | 2013-05-17 08:03:00 | Glad it's working well for you. What're you paying for it and what sorta data cap are you getting? 30Mbps Fibre speed, getting 27 or 28 and up is almost a 9. 50GB data, $75 a month emailed invoices, I auto pay with credit card. Snail mail invoices cost a bit more. 2yr contract to waive the modem cost (and the connection fee). Got caller id which is cool, haven't turned on voicemail or call forwarding, we have a answering machine with our cordless phones anyway. Local calls are free and data doesn't count, old telephone no. ported over. |

Do they make 4 port ATA adapters? That is an older pic and there are 4 phones live right now. They do, like the Grandstream GXW4004. Alternatively, just get 2x Cisco SPA112's ;) |
