A Neighbour has AOL and its taken me and him about 4 months to sort his broadband out. Rehashed all the wiring and still problems, in the end threatened to leave as ther customer service is rubbish, they sent a new router and everything is now OK. Funnily did a speed test on this AOL line and it came up as Carphone Warehouse, bit of piggy backing going on. |
I have never heard of a router getting up to speed before, thats a new one on me. Don't forget the filters on ADSL lines they are normally supplied by your ISP.
A friend of mine is a BT engineer and he says that all ADSL lines run on the back of BT lines. They are in the same exchange as well, but in seperate room that are 'not' air conditioned. Depending on the heat output this may have some effect on service.
I will ask him about the 'iplate' though. Funnily enough he is p***ed off with his BT connection, he has an 8mb connection but can only get 5mb at best.
