Hi Telecoms Experts,
I currently have a spur telecoms wiring in the house and the adsl is really poor (0.3Mbit) (it dropped off from 1.0 recently for some unknown reason).
Here's the layout:
Anyway, i disconnected all the sockets from the junction box in the loft and connected a separate BT extension cable from there down to the room with the adsl router and connected the router and phone on a filter. The adsl rose to 2.3Mbit.
So.. i want to split off the adsl and telephone wiring so they don't interfere with each other. (note that the four cables going to the four sockets are single cables (in the wall) and all is designed in a spider network. Also, there is no NTE5 socket/test socket and the master socket is defined by the one having the yellow capacitor on the back). ie. i don't really want to go re-wiring in the wall, but don't mind doing something in the loft.
I'm thinking that i'd like to install my own NTE5 master socket just inside the house. Perhaps an adsl filtered one so that i can draw off the adsl from that point.
So i guess what i'm asking is:
1) can i have a spur (spider network) running off an NTE5 socket (for the rest of the phone sockets), and if so, should i keep the socket with the capacitor
2) can i run a really long extension from an adsl socket on a filtered socket to the socket with my modem attached using the existing internal wiring? Any guidelines on that?
3) is there a better way?
ps. i know i could use wireless at the point of entry, but i'd rather wire it if i can.
thanks
