British Telecom is testing a device in homes called the iPlate, which filters out interference. In a recent demonstration, BT showed that a faulty fluorescent light can cause a 3.8-megabit-per-second connection to drop to 0.7 Mbps and that the iPlate, which will cost £10, restores the connection to full speed. read article here: www.pcpro.co.uk |

Don't expect any great gains here. The "Bell Wire" is the one that Telecom NZ removed going from 3 wire to 2 wire years ago. 2 wiring is already advised for Broadband lines. |
