Broadband ADSL Interference & Speeds
Posted: 06th Oct, 2006 By: MarkJ
ADSLGuide has done a nice little summary of broadband ADSL line interference problems and the impact it's having on speed, especially following the introduction of BTs MAX ("up to" 8Mbps) technology:
The piece also highlights an interesting article (here), which looks at similar problems that could impact future VDSL2 technology (if it ever sees the light of day) and their potential solutions.
The article reminds people to make sure that a Microfilter (splitter) is installed on every extension to the line your ADSL connection uses. Most ISPs will tell you this, yet not everybody understands the importance of actually doing so.
Perhaps the biggest rise in complaints beyond customer service issues, and in fact this complaint may be the cause of the rise in support calls, is the tendency for rate adaptive ADSL and ADSL2+ services to drop the connection to the local exchange and re-adapt to the changing noise conditions. Most of the world that has deployed ADSL previously has used rate adaptive ADSL, and so since roll-out has been coping with issues like missing micro-filters, poor wiring inside a property, but for many UK ADSL users and even ISP's the lessons are only slowly being learnt.
