Not really sure if this is connected or not, but my browser (IE9) seems to have locked up at times over the last few days.

Hi Clive, Thank you for the link to www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/socket.htm

I read through the suggestions for increasing internet speed and disconnected the wire to teminal 3 in the BT box. It seems this wire was used to make the phones on extention sockets ring but with modern phones it's not needed.

I was getting a speed of around 2.1 Kbps and after removing the wire it has shot up to 4.8 Kbps. Fantastic result at no cost!

Hope I'm not being too hopeful but all of a sudden it has really speeded up - connection took about 3 secs and my download is 7Mbps

Thank you Clive.

Should have checked the linked site. Your adaptor appears to be a more sophisticated version of the Iplate (which they include in their write-up) The advantage with your version appears to be that you can dispense with the ADSL filters.

No problems here. Upload and download speeds within what BT expect for this line using their speedchecker, same results using BB Genie. I,m approx 4K from the exchange,using a BT hub and running Vista Premium. It takes on average 1.3 seconds per page change. Weather here has been wet for weeks(North Wales at 300mtr elevation), no protection from prevailing wind/rain for our pole mounted connection and the connection cabinets from here down are all road fitted chambers with rainwater rivers flowing over and around them!! Last time we had a problem it was sorted within 18 hrs and was caused by the one Grey Squirrel left in the area chewing the cables to the post mounted box!!

BT have served us well over the last 33 years of our use of them.

Very slow last couple of days.

Suddenl;y fast again today.

Joey, probably because the BT gangs and contracters have stopped work for the weekend!

Clive....... Or was that because its stopped raining?

Message from the tech team: speed issues have now been resolved.

I'll agree with that statement - it's going at a good speed here now.
