Glynn; How much data do you use on average for a month? I only ask as Mobile Data (if you have 3G coverage) may be a viable option for you.

Spyware: Any additional filters connected to phones on the splitter's filtered output can be removed as they serve no purpose. As for the splitter's unfiltered output - if indeed the dialup modem initiates reconnection of ADSL then I would remove the filter on this outlet (Dick Smith sell RJ11 to BT adaptors if you need one to connect the ADSL router ONLY directly to the outlet) and test for several days. Post results.




Well I tried this, and could not even connect to the internet because I could no longer dial up :/ I'll keep trying at odd times in the hope it auto connects though, as it does sometimes.



Usually I use between 8-10GB of data in my month. What's 'Mobile Data'?

EDIT: Ya, can't seem to connect at all by just sending my modem line straight to the jack.

Mobile Data is where your connection to the internet bypasses the local loop and instead uses a providors cellular network.

With your level of data usage this doesn't seem to be a viable option quite yet, but based on recent industry trents could be in a short space of time.
