Does ADSL affect analogue dial up speed ?

Strange question, but on the day my line was ADSL enabled my analogue
dial up speed dropped from 45k to under 40k (sometimes as low as 30k).
Not a big issue, but I have to use standard dial up occasionally to ftp
into different ISP webspace. Is this speed drop normal, or has something
gone astray ?

ADSL (Pipex) works fine, so I assume the line must be reasonably OK.

yep 56k with DSL enabled on the line takes a swan dive in speed, can't
remember what mine connects at, as I rarely have to use it but remember it
dropping from the then normal 46-48 to low 40's

Thanks for that, at least I know there's nothing astray now.

I have to switch my router off to get dial-up to even work.

Just to buck the trend, my analogue speed went from 42k to 47k when I
got ADSL.

Same here, I used to get 44-48k but now ADSL is enabled it's really best
to switch off V.90 and just use V.34 at 33k6 when I use dial up.

No change at all here. 48k before 48k after.

Using the BT Faceplate filter. Instead of cheapo crappy ones supplied with
the majority of modems.
