Im having trouble with my Broadband connection and would like to confirm a few things with you learned chaps on here, before i start accusing my supplier. Firstly my Modem/router is connected to one of three extension sockets i have in my house, I wired the sockets 10 years ago now, in 6 core alarm cable and have never had a problem with them. I used three of the cores (for 2,3 & 5 as i call them) and connected them to the rear of the master socket adapter plate. I have since fitted what i call an "I PLATE" onto the face of the master socket, which actually made a difference in broadband speed for a while.
I have been told to CUT out the "ringer wire" on my outgoing extension cable from the master, which i am presuming is the "3" at the master socket, will this make any difference if i already have the "I PLATE" fitted? Also does having the "I PLATE" fitted mean that i no longer need filters attached to other outlets in the house ?
I have tried connecting the modem/router to the master socket, but that makes no difference in speed. The biggest problem is that broadband speed can be good for a while but usually after a week or so it drops down again. Basically the question i am asking is CAN I DO ANYMORE TO MAKE MY INTERNAL TELEPHONE CONNECTION ANY BETTER?
