Hi,

When I got my BT line connected and then hooked up with Bethere broadband I was getting an amazing 1.92 MB constant download.

However, later i worked out that the only live phone socket was the master one. I have now had the other 2 sockets activated and I can only get a constant download of 1.61MB

I know this is still really quick but just want to know if this is common or whether the socket connections have been done incorrectly.

I have 3 sockets, 2 have phones connected (both with a microfilter). The socket without a phone connected has no microfilter. The modem is connected up to the master phone socket.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks
 
ok...I opened the master socket up....
I didnt wire this thing up because I cant see colour and my camera doesnt do clear close up pictures or I'd ask you to look. However...I think all four were connected: white with blue bands, white with orange, blue with white and orange with white. they all loooked different to me.

What I did do was connect directly to the bt line (the little socket behind the socket) and was getting an average 1.87MB on 3 torrents

I put the filter back into the ordinary socket and it's gone back down to 1.61MB

I'll get someone who can tell colours to have a look cos you've probably hit the nail on the head.

Cheers
