At least he used crimps and not just a case of twisting together and some tape!

But did it wrong first time LOL.

In reply to a post by MHC:

Have you put a typical ASDL and VDSL filter on a spectrum analyser? A colleague has and the performance of the ADSL filters above about 5 or 7 MHz was abysmal. It is not just teh requirement to keep the lower frequencies off the audio band but needs to ensure there is no significant attenuation or phase change at the higher frequencies.

I did actually post some comments on it soon after he had tested them.

Earlier in the year we had Openreach out because of very slow adsl. The engineer installed what he said was a filtered junction box up in the loft,(it did'nt cure the problem with the slow speed). Ive just been up in the loft to look at it, and it has a wound copper coil in one corner .Would this type of filter have any effect on fibre speeds? i did ask the engineer when he connected us up for fibre if it would have an adverse affect,but all he said was don't know
