We are on Vodafone out at Kiwitea (Manawatu), very near the exchange, about 400meters away. The house has a demarkation point and Cat3 or Cat5 to the first Jack. I have removed all the house wiring (just the Cat5 connected Jack) and just had one phone and the ADSL Modem. When I pick up the phone the internet stops. I hang up and wait a bit and the internet starts (Checking with a ping to www.clear.net.nz). I have a clear POTs line, no crackles etc. Although when the internet is connected I can just hear the hiss of the modem, even with multiple filters in line. I was getting 15MBits download on speedtest.net
I have tried
- Another modem of the same type, no improvement
- Two other types of modem. One ADSL2+ and one ADSL, no improvement. ADSL connected at 5MBit
- Fitted in many different plug in filters - no improvement
- Fitted a wire in Filter - no improvement.
- Connected to extension jack on other side of house that is connected to the filtered output of wirein filter
The only option I can think of is a problem between the demarkation point and into the exchange.
Is there anything else I could check? Or any advice.
