Hi All,

Sorry for such a repetitive question (well I think anyway)..

I have just moved into a new townhouse and had my broadband relocated. I previously had a ADSL Splitter installed in the Demarc.

Unfortunately that is not going to be an option here so I now need to buy some line filter.. Can anyone please recommend a brand I should be buying? Or are they all the same?

Thank you,

Brad Wright.

DSE line filters are pretty good....never heard of one that's gone faulty....

Do whatever you want to do man.

How many filters will you require, if its more than 3 I recommend you still get a central filter installed, if thought out this can be installed at the first phone jack, only installing a central splitter will you remove all mid span stubs.

Why can you not locate the demarc, if its in a basement comms cupboard you can still have it installed there.

+1 on central splitter if you can afford it.

If your wiring is old or long, or a sky tech cut corners or something when wiring in a new jackpoint or something, it will help. Our max speed doubled from 2mbit to 4mbit by using a splitter, thats in a 20 year old house.

I concur with the others, but if not an option, then try Dynalink filters. Don't use Dlink filters.

Thanks everyone, the place is only 18 months old but the owners aren't too happy about me doing anything that may cause 'damage' to the property. I might try my luck with Dynalink... Any reason why D-Link are so bad?

Thanks again,

Brad.
