DSL Update
It's been two weeks since the new DSL went in. A couple of days ago I got hold of people with access to the records, verified that the account we have had since two months before Pacific Bell Internet went public was indeed associated with the DSL on the new telephone line ("new" being 21 years old.) Had them disconnect the DSL on the old telephone line (37 years) and the old line itself.
When I put the new DSL in I simply used the provided microfilters. I know where the RT is. I know where my B-Box is. I have somewhere around a 7K' loop which means I'm marginal for maximum speed. So I moved the DSL to the NID splitter:
With the Micro-filters the DSL signal went to three or four jacks -- which means three or four bridge taps. The NID filter eliminates that, and provided a 23% increase in speed!
