Re: [DSL] Question about POTS splitter said by stevewk:Can't predict how badly your speeds would potentially be affected, but what about removing the POTS splitter and putting those inline filters on all your phones in the house (except the line where you want your modem)?
Yea, don't do this as it could cause issues with your DSL service. |

I'll quote exactly what they told me.
said by TSI Keith:Hello,
I understand and apologize for the frustration here. Unfortunately the techs are only responsible to bring the service to the home and we are unable to specify a specific location/jack for them. At this point I would have to advise either contacting a third party electrician or maybe seeing if you have any friends or family members that would be comfortable with telephone wiring.
Thank you,
Keith
Does anyone know a third party company that can do this job? It seems like such a small job most companies won't even want to bother.
If i can't find a tech I'm going to have to cancel the service all together which seems so stupid over something like this. |

If you can leave the modem as close to the demarc as possible, that would be ideal. Otherwise, you can use an extension cord. An installer would probably just install a new line and leave everything else unchanged. That line isn't any different than an extension cord.
Connecting your modem to one of your existing jacks is not a good idea. The modem would see all of your house wiring and pick up a maximum amount of noise... Just don't expect to get your max speed with such a setting.
Whether you use DSL filters or not won't change anything. |

There is a heading in the phone book in almost every city in Ontario called, "Telephone Installation and Repair" full of guys who specialize in, or do this.

The ISW that is used is completely different than the extension cables that you buy in the store as they are stranded copper wire and the ISW that is installed is solid core wire which is much better for DSL.

if your comfortable doing it yourself its easy enough even without a toner, disconnect all the jacks and leave a phone off hook connected where u want the modem then 1 by 1 connect the wires again until that phone gets dialtone. then u have isolated the wire u need to plug into the dsl portion of the potsplitter.. switch it with the wire in there at current and go.

I'll add to this.
Once you have isolated the wire, take the wall jack apart
'break out' the second pair from the inside wire. at the pots splitter, connect the second pair of the wire you isolated to the dsl pins of the potsplitter.
No go back to the wall jack, disconnect the primary pair from the jack, and connect the second pair to the jack terminals that had the primary pair wired to them.
First, plug a phone into the jack now, do you have dial-tone? if yes, then unplug the phone and plug in the modem.
If no dialtone, the secondary pair is open, likely at another jack, between the modem and the pots-splitter. Which incidentally is all the more reason to find the open and fix that as that means there would still be a phone set/jack wired to the DSL line if you used the primary pair from the wire you initially isolated.
clear as mud?

(From POTS splitter with monitored alarm system?. Ignore the alarm stuff if you don't have one.)
The black/yellow pair has unfiltered DSL. It should go over twisted pair or CAT5/6 as directly as possible to the DSL modem. There's no need to use existing home wiring and the wall jack if you can avoid it. Just crimp an RJ-11 plug and insert it in the DSL modem. But if the modem is too far away use the black/yellow pair in your home wiring to get the signal to the wall jack of your choice.
Incidentally you can replace a regular wall jack with a duplex, then wire one jack for DSL as urbang33k describes and the other for phone service. |
