Good day all.

As per the title are all ADSL microfilters the same?

ADSL vs ADSL2+, ect.

I understand that all a microfilter does is filter the low freq for use with the analog side of the line, and that the ADSL it's self is unfiltered.

Does that mean, if I was not to use any analog phones, I could with the right lead plug the ADSL router directly into the BT master test socket?

I ask, as today I am having a lot of internet connection drops, I phoned my ISP, and they say it's a hardware issue my end.

So I wish to test with no microfilter and no analog phones connected to the line.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards.
 
microfilters do die randomly. i've had a couple just give up over the years. you usually get spares with a router and i've never had to buy one.
