Hi there,
I have recently been thinking about wiring all my computers with flat ethernet cables round the house, as my wireless speeds were a bit slow. However, in my research I came accross lots of information about improving broadband itself (which is massively more of a bottleneck than my wireless connection).
It appears that I have got two things that are an absolute killer for broadband speeds 1. An old BT Master Socket 2. An extension lead running from the Master Socket to the living room to which I have added my broaband filter and then the router.
It would therefore seem that I need to ditch the extension lead and have the router plugged directly into the Master Socket and secondly replace the Master Socket itself.
With regards to the Master Socket, I have read that I should get a faceplate with the filter built in and run the modem directly from the ADSL output. I have also read about the Iplate making a huge difference to Broadband speeds - do I need one of these as well as the filtered faceplate or is the Iplate only for people with a single output on their master Socket?
Also, has anyone had any experience of actually changing their sockets and not using extension leads?
I am currently getting 2.1 Megs at the moment, whereas speedchecker websites have prediceted that I should be getting 3.5 where I live - guess it is defeinitely worth ago.
Would really appreciate your comments
Thanks
