Advice Please Re- Extension Sockets
Hi Everyone, This is a cross post because I wasn't sure which one to put it in and some people may not use all the NewsGroups that I have posted it to, so beg your forgiveness. The main BT socket is in the bedroom and from this I have daisy chained all the rest of the sockets in the house using the faceplate connection on the front of the BT socket. From some of the sockets I have filters plugged in for the phones, 4 in total. I also have a filter plugged in for the PC to use the Broadband. I noticed that the connection speed was getting slower and slower so I used the Voyager 105 modem given to me by my ISP in order to findout the exact speed. It was 320 kbps. I disconnected all the phones in the house, tried the speed again and it was the same. Plugged modem into main socket and speed increased to something like 580 kbps. I thern took faceplate off and plugged modem directly into socket, now 1.8Mbps. I plugged extensions into filter and all phones work ok without individual filters. Now my question is this. Do I have a fault on my original installation of the sockets in the house, or, should I have just used 1 filter in the main box as I have at present ?
