Contact service provider and if necessary arrange an appointment , just like an ADSL provide .


What if broadband isn't working and mean another appointment could delaying further. No thanks. I rather to have BT Engineer at the property to do the job done!

More likely to be a micro-filter suitable for use with the VDSL service?


Would, in general, the presence of connected bell wires on extensions have a significant affect on vdsl?

Down to the ISP, microfilters or the VDSL interstitial plate which is easy enough to buy on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006VX2P1M/ref=as...

And if you start at the bottom and work up http://www.coolwebhome.co.uk/faceplate you can see how simple it is to fit

So I presume when you have ordered ADSL you booked an engineer install?

Exactly the same 11 years ago when self install ADSL was introduced. I expect the option of a chargeable engineer visit will be available. The end user can decide if thy want to pay to the extra .

Much more significant that with ADSL2+, hence why I would recommend filter at the master socket and modem located there.

Any many many many people I meet are still unconvinced until I actually go to their house and get them a 4 or 5 megabit/sec sync improvement.

"wires only" VDSL will be cheaper, but its a silly idea from a performance / quality point of view - unless the ISPs will all offer a 6 month contract instead of 12 or 18 months.

The port will be tested at the cab by the engineer connecting it up.

But that said, these boards will be awash with people who have used the self install VDSL option, and now find that the speed/stability is suffering due to set up and wiring issues.

i always hated the microfilters, which is why I installed another faceplate.

Microfilters get knocked around with the vacuum cleaner.

I'm guessing you mean megabit otherwise you are, indeed, a magician.
