Hi, I have been a longtime visitor to TPU but only recently decided to sign up as a forum member. I hope somebody can help me with my issue. I live in Australia and use iiNet as my provider.
Basically I was away for a bit and when I came back home I was informed that the company that owns our alarm system "fixed" one of our phone line outlets by installing the following device (which I suspect is kind of an inbuilt phone line splitter):
Firstly, I need confirmation whether this is actually a splitter or not. (The device does not seem to detach from the wall - haven't tried using a screwdriver yet).
Secondly, since this adapter or whatever it is was installed, my internet has been noticeably slower than usual. In addition, since it has been installed I cannot use the other active phone line outlet to plug my modem into, even when using a portable ADSL/phone splitter that plugs into the phone socket.
For those who think the following information might be relevant:
- I am on an ADSL2+ plan (I am currently not shaped)
- I use a Netgear AC1600 Wifi Modem Router
- my distance from the exchange is about 2.3km (1.43 miles) I think
- I am getting speeds of about 3.87 megabits download, and 0.80 megabits upload
Do my speeds sound about right?
I appreciate your time,
Thanks.
