| 588640 | 2007-09-10 08:53:00 | There's nothing connected to the line except for the Fax, Phone and DSL Modem. The disconnections can happen anytime, using the phones doesn't seem to affect it The router (D-Link DSL-502T) can do up to ADSL2+ (24Mbit down) so I don't think it's going too fast. Maybe it's the line that can't handle? Sky Digital? Many people forget that the phone line needs to be filtered at the decoder as well. Call your ISP and get them to log a fault with Telecom, they can make configuration changes and reset ports etc that can fix these type of problems. |

| 588642 | 2007-09-13 19:48:00 | best thing to do is throw away plug-in filters and get a decent one installed in the ETP with a dedicated ADSL jackpoint. It's not as flexible, but far less prone to causing problems. I have similar problems to the thread starter Sorry, but what is an ETP ? And what is a dedicated ADSL jackpoint ? Does a technician need to install one of these or do you just mean that nothing else gets plugged into a normal phone jack ? Regards Digby |

| 588643 | 2007-09-13 20:02:00 | I have no trouble what so ever. I get rates of 600-700KB/s download and man can it chew up the 20GB monthly limit fast. Much depends on time of day and what you are connecting to as I have seen speeds of <80KB/s as well trying to download some files off some sites. | Big John (551) | ||

Regards Digby An ETP is the External Terminating Point, usually the demarcation between what's Telecom's and your wiring. If a splitter is installed in the ETP a pair of wires or a separate cable has to be used to a jack specifically for the ADSL modem because all the others will be filtered. |

| 588645 | 2007-09-14 22:02:00 | Exactly what Paul said. A filter in the ETP is often referred to as a splitter, and yes usually this would be done by a Technician. It may require a little bit of re-wiring and an additional jackpoint depending on your current setup, but the normal telecom cable in use these days has an extra pair of wires in it so it's often not necesary to run any new cables |

| 588646 | 2007-09-17 06:51:00 | The problem is I don't want the line to my room dedicated to ADSL only, I want phone as well. I've tried a borrowed Dynalink RTA-230 which has this (www.imagef1.net.nz), currently in ADSL line status. (this is after 7 hr connection time) Quite a few errors, I thought. So if the attainable line rate is the highest you I get without noticeable problems, maybe my line cannot handle 3mbit that the D-Link can achieve? Is there a way for me to find out if this is the wiring in my house, or the actual outside lines? (preferably without involving telecom and their charging of lots of money) |

| 588647 | 2007-09-18 01:20:00 | I'm using a 6-year-old Dynalink filter at the ETP and can download at 6.2 Mb/s (connect rate's slightly higher). Although this may not help in your particular case, I can definitely say that the old Dynalink filters were fast and reliable :) | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 588648 | 2007-09-18 05:58:00 | Don't install or use Anit-viruse, Net-security or firewall can speed up your internet (but your taking your own risk) | tamatama14 (12747) | ||
| 588649 | 2007-09-18 06:09:00 | Not really, besides the problem is with the phone line, which AV or firewall has nothing to do with AV might slow down your PC but only a **** firewall (or badly configured one) will slow down your internet |
