Best ADSL2+ Filter

any1?

Every DSL provider I see recommends a Speedtouch, I already have a router so I purchased the Speedtouch 516v16 for $25 off of kijiji, there are a lot of them on the used market to buy, ISP's will typically sell it for $75.

In my case replacing my TP-link with the recommended Speedtouch fixed the issue preventing Teksavvy from moving me to a better profile.

O_o

Sorry I missed the filter part...oopsy.

No problem

I've never had any issues with the various brands I've used.

Which ADSL2+ Filter you use if you don't mind sharing? Where to buy ?

Thanks

I doubt you'll find any specific filter reviews. It's such a minor thing that most people haven't put much research into it.

Personally I used whatever the Futureshop no name brand was for years.

Where I worked we just had a box and shipped them out as they were needed. We rarely came across cases of bad filters, and those we did we didn't put any effort in to tracking them, so unfortunately can't give you any advice.

Corning. Dunno where to buy.

'Corning POTS splitter'. There's also one by Wilcom that's quite good but not the same quality IMHO as Corning.... you should be able to buy one from your ISP... but you're not planning on filtering your *DSL* line right ? Regular DSL filters have nothing to do with the signal your Modem sees, only the freq's NOT seen by the telephone side, and possibly the noise the modem may see from a malfunctioning telephone/jack.

It shold be noted that, while a POTS splitter that has a full set of RJ-11 jacks (like the Corning one does) can be used in place of a regular splitter, it's meant to be installed where your telephone line enters your house/apartment and wired directly into your phone line.

That's your demarc... The setup you show is only valid if you have connected a telephone to that filter, and the DSL modem is plugged into some other jack.

it should be installed as in the dgass picture here below, right?

»Anyone have a photo of the Telecon POTS filter/splitter?

...or, totally replacing the demark

reply to damir
It can be, if used as a whole-house (or whole-apartment) filter. There are three sets of connections on the filter, and each one can be connected either via the bare wires (on the left side) or the phone jack (on the right side).

The way he's wired it up is:

Line (input from Bell): directly wired
Modem (output to modem): RJ-11 jack
Phone (output to home phone wiring): RJ-11 jack
