| Re: [connectivity] Prepairing for the best DSL Enahnced experian Congratulations on being so proactive. You have done everything you can upfront by installing a whole house POTS/DSL splitter if I understand your post correctly. The splitter is installed after the phone company NID and has two outputs, Data - that goes to the ADSL modem and Voice to goes to all the non-DSL stuff in the residence.
Once DSL is up and running temporally connect the modem to the NID test jack and log speed, margin, attenuation. If they are significantly better then the normal router location something within your residence is degrading speed.
Splitter does a better job isolating DSL from voice service but there are some anomalies they cannot correct. If moving the modem is a pain, just temporally disconnect the "voice" terminals of the splitter. That will disconnect inside wiring, accomplishing the same thing as plugging the modem into the test jack.
For each test resync the modem and log the results.
