This is my current stat:

Max upstream rate: 12296
Upstream rate: 10342
Upstream noise: 15.2

Max downstream rate: 33460
Downstream rate: 33640
Downstream noise: 12.1

It is kinda funny how downstream rate is higher than maximum downstream rate.

Will there any improvement from master filter? At the demarc, cat5e cable, only one jack is connected. No other phone jack is connected.

I think you're just trying to brag your download speed!

LOL, I wish, but theres plenty of ppl out there who get better than me (damn UFB). And who is bragging about speed (signature ;) )

When I first noticed the difference in the max vs actual I thought I was just reading the headings incorrectly.

Hasnt caused any issues so didnt bother investigating it further.....but now youve bought it up as well, I'm curious :)

Depends on how highly you value a small increase in speeds in comparison to paying for a master filter ;)

Serious note though, send me a PM with your details and I can take a looksie at your line if you'd like.

If it is wired direct to one jack-point only, then master splitter is not required. I will check this for you when I come to wired up your network sockets.
