RedM Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 We currently use the, probably, very cheap filter that came with our router. I've been looking at this: http://www.adslnation.com/products/xf-1e.php http://broadbandzone.co.uk/shop/ADSL_Nation_XF-1e3076.htm Thoughts?

SteamAhead Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 http://www.adslnation.com/products/xf-1e.php lol this filter in the daddy! get one and never worry about filters again! Since moving in to my house a year ago, the caller ID on our DECT phone doesn't work (which it did in our last place with broadband). I've had many descussions with BT on this but got no where, and yes caller ID is enabled before anyone asks Going by the description of that filter, could that help??? I never knew that you could buy a better spec filter, so was wondering if to give it a try (Sorry RedM for hijacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Anyone tested this filter and one they had from ISP to see if there is actually a difference in connection speed and the download speeds on average please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 best thing is to get the master socket + filter combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Martin - please do post the results of this. I'd like to know if it has helped at all for future ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Martin - please do post the results of this. I'd like to know if it has helped at all for future ref. I certainly will. TBH I'm not entirely sure what to be looking for but I'll post up any observations. FWIW my IP have said that my sync rate is way below the FTR and needs progressing internally NOW! No shit!

RedM Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 Pete, New posh microfilter has been in place for 60 hours. I have had only two 'loss of synchronisation' which happened within the first six hours. They did not cause a loss of connection. Router has been switched on constantly. Max stable rate has sat at 3000kbps for the entire time. It seems like a £10 filter albeit a quality one has done wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'll have to order a few of these babies in for just such a situation. Was it one of those in the above link? Thanks for the update!

SteamAhead Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 For the sake of £10, I might invest in one this week. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
