When good splitters go bad

No, it wasn't T1 interference. It was the NID filter/splitter I got just a couple of months ago. Last night I got my line capped at 768k (doing this will increase your signal-to-noise ratio, providing a stronger data signal) to see if there would be any improvements, but my line still lost sync. That is good news since that means my line can handle being un-capped at 1536k. Bad news, I started to hear DSL static on the phone, and with all the weather conditions we've had lately I knew that the filter must have failed. So today, I went back to Ebay and bought another Siecor splitter. Only, this one is internal. Hopefully, this splitter will stand up a bit better since the weather factor will be eliminated.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. DSL is a beast, especially if your a ways out. You gotta learn how to tame it. But, once you have it together, it is solid as a rock.

2 ramblings so far

1. That reminds me. I have to run those tweak tests again at DSLR on my pc that I've had since last Xmas. I have a rather slow DSL connection and the RWIN settings should definitely be adjusted .

2. Well, I wish this was the extent of my line issues. I've gotten that new splitter and tested my line with it. I still lose sync. So, something else is the cause. Now it seems that I lose it in the morning for around 2 hours.
