Had a very interesting time today.
I've had ADSL service for quite some time, only not the fastest in the world, as I live on the outer fringes of my nearest BT exchange.
Last week I had a letter through from BT trying to sell me broadband services, and mentioning something about a "Broadband Accelerator".
A bit of digging around on the BT site and I find out that this device is a filter set, designed to cut out RF effects on extension wiring, and thus allowing faster DSL transmission.
It was also mentioned that the filter is not required if the main BT socket has the Openreach logo on it, as the filter is already built in.
Today I aquired one of the Openreach sockets, replaced my ancient BT socket, and have been utterly astounded at the increase in speed of my DSL service - it's gone up from around 1.5Mbps to nearly 4Mbps.
I am rather pleased with this as, you can imagine.
