Re: Severe Connection Problems with Verizon DSL

I'm thinking of installing an in-line DSL splitter, such as this one:

»www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00171···0A88C9MD

When the DSL was first activated, the DSL line shared a phone jack with a fax machine through use of a plug-in double-outlet. Connections were intermittent, so I replaced this Verizon supplied solution with an actual 2-outlet jack. With the slitter in, the modem's jack could be wired to the cable's unused pair, which would be wired to the splitter. Sound like a good plan?

Sounds good to me. Using the unused pair for DSL only should not affect the DSL in any way.

I've had enough. They're now trying to shedule tech visits for times when I'm not home (or anyone else for that matter). I will, most likely, be getting rid of the DSL very soon and switch over to Earthlink Cable.
