My main socket is the old flat faceplate type like the rest in the house. It is not the spit type. Can I use the iplate ? Any advice please ?

I got the Pressac Faceplate Splitter from http://adsl-filters.co.uk/buyf.html. Before I fitted it I was getting typical download 2.7Mbps, upload 350kbps, ping 55ms. Afterwards it immediately went to 6.8Mbps, 530kbps, 45ms and has stayed there for the last four days, with little variation between busy and light-load times. Before I was getting a drop to around 1.8Mbps mid-evening. Sounds like I may have been lucky with the degree of change.

Why dont bt fit this as standard during their installs?

Anything which will boost the speed of my line is a good idea, and the majority of posts here say it will, so I’ve ordered one of these new plates.

I fitted the I-Plate a few moments ago.
I have a Belkin ADSL 2+ router which was reporting a D/S speed of 8.1Mbps before fitting.
Immediately after fitting, the reported speed is now 9.9Mbps.
Oddly, for a few minutes after fitting I couldn’t get past my router and out to the Internet even though the router was indicating that I was authenticated and online with my provider.
However, it cleared itself and now I am surfing at blistering speed.
I did a couple of Speedtest.net tests and my average D/S speed has gone up by around 2Mbps.
Definitely worked for me and well worth it.
(Thanks to Bro-inlaw Miles for the heads up on the I-Plate).
