If your BT line isn't delivering the broadband speeds you'd anticipated, you might take hope in the imminent I-Plate.

So it's a simple filter then?:rolleyes:

From the description all it does is disable the bell wire.

there has been a long discussion (with some good technical detail as well) fairly recently:

My ISP has been selling this for a couple of months.
Very few people reported improvements - either speed or stability - with it installed, including myself on my 63.5dB line which BT have continually downgraded in estimated performance over the last 18 months.
To me it's just another case of BT talking up their dire products/services. I wonder what speed those supposedly noting a 1.5MB improvement were getting beforehand and in what kind of situation?

Also note that the ADSLNation faceplate has been around for a long time now and it works. http://www.adslnation.com/products/xte2005.php
