hpotter Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Would always fit a filter regardless. BB always on even if pc off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alarm Co Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Would always fit a filter regardless.BB always on even if pc off. yer ok but dont answer the question is it only texacom that does this / that does need a filter , and- why fit a filter if the pc never going to be on when every one is out of property when alarm on and the pc is going to off??

lawandorder Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 yer ok but dont answer the question is it only texacom that does this / that does need a filter ,I am certain that any broadband supplier would recommend a filter be fitted to any device which uses the phone line, perhaps you have just been lucky with the others. and- why fit a filter if the pc never going to be on when every one is out of property when alarm on and the pc is going to off?? The filter is to allow the broadband to work not to allow the speech dialler to work and the load imposed by the dialler is the same whether or not the system is set so it is important to fit one. Although you may have got away with it with the other diallers did you actually do a speed test on the BB before and after? You may find that although it will work without a filter performance may suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpotter Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Only know about the Sd's, and they dont always get through when connected to line with BB. Sometimes they got through straight away, othertimes they take 4/5/6/ attempts, & few times they give up (10 attempts). Fit the filter cos BB is always on. Dont matter about whether PC is on or not, or anyone at home. Think of it as dial tone for dogs. you cant hear it but its always there. lol.

A-G Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Different telephone systems/configurations will give different effects & results. As said, always fit a filter ..... even where they don't have broadband and swear that they'll never get it. I guarantee they'll get broadband in 6 months and then claim they never said that. . . .

hpotter Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Would also suggest fitting the hardwired ones. http://www.tait-components.com/Telecoms/AD...box-271775.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rulland Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I always fit a ADSL filter on all installs that use the phone line-just to be sure!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
