Master And Slave Implications

[y-i-out-of-bed]

cheack wires are ok, then also plug phone in and out , i know this nakers bb as i spent a night online figering out why it did, i had done every thing right in line wiring sence but it dident work then rewired as above with out wire 3 works fine luckly house is being rewired at the mo fitting my alarm and phone pounts all hidden

I'm trying to get my head around this, why would dropping the ring wire increase BB speed?

All I can come up with is the ring wire picking up RFI in the house and dumping some of it back to the line through the cap in the master socket....

Possibly time to start wiring domestic phones in cat 5 UTP?

Apparently that is exactly the reason!!!-from various sources-including the BT engineer who suggested I did it !!! cos I was getting no joy from BT direct-well a call centre in some foreign place!.

The line is balanced right up to the NTE, and then you unbalance it by introducing a single ring wire connected to one side of the line.

It only makes a real difference on fringe lines.

I live in a four year old house that's approx 2.5 miles from the exchange-BUT being new it's got five BT points in various rooms-maybe the wiring is picking up more induced because of that?-maybe the sparky ran em all next to other stuff?-I don't know.

All I do know is even connecting router directly to master I was only getting around 2.5 meg downstream and connected to a slave in the living room that dropped to about 1.5-2.0, after dissing the 'ring wire' at the master the speed increased to between 3.5 and 4.5 meg......................So I'm happier!!!!.................

Removing the ring wire should make a great difference on ADSL, especially if there are a few extensions as it acts as an attenna and picks up AM interferance. The only phones that require it are ones with no logic, I.e. the old phones with bells for ringers.

basicly just see adsl nation or link above but basicly dont include ring wire before adsl filter then after it will be fine but most filters have ring gen in them anyways, so only need a+b at each socket see adsl nation as this has most filters listed including alarm hard wired units with user ratings.
