I spent this morning with a BT engineer looking for the cause of 100
apartments with poor Broadband speed. We identified the culprit as a
Compact
Line SIG 8008 on the 14th floor.

With power on to the 8008 the flats get ~880K speed, with power off to it
they get 5Mb.

Is this likely to be just a faulty 8008 and a straight swap (or a swap for
something similar) or should I now just pass this on to a pro in aerials?



I don't like them things. I took over a contract where someone had used
one at every institution and I had a lot of bother with them. They're
all ripped out now. I've never had one generating that much RF though,
so I guess the one you have is faulty.

You can't really replace it without an analyser to check levels, c/n, etc.

We normally replaced them with a preamp followed by a passive filters
followed by a power amp.
