Filters Before Broadband

Ok My exchange is going to be broadband enabled next month!

I am fairly certain my line will be Ok as I can see the exchange from my
house and I have ordered broadband from PlusNet.

When the day of the line test comes will two Sky Boxes connected to the
phone line make any difference? Also I have already got set up my wireless
modem router and plugged my filters in.

Will the filters make a difference as well. Can I leave them in or should I
take them out?

If you are likely to be a border-line case it makes sense to unplug as much
as you can for the test.

Old "net tales" say Sky digiboxes can create interference. However the line
tests on my line were no different with the sky box plugged in and turned
on, or with is unplugged and turned off.

It's unlikely to be a major contributing factor to line testing having
a digibox plugged in. It wont do any thing till it dials out so won't
be registered. If he can see the exchange I doubt he'd be borderline.
Microfilters would need fitting to digiboxes also, as you would to any
analogue line connection, be it modems, phones or digiboxes.

It shoudnt make much difference but to be safe rather than sorry you could
disconnect the Sky Boxes if you wanted...

You do know you need to filter the Sky boxes, as well as any telephones once
ADSL is active on your line?

I can on a clear night see the moon and on a good day see the sun from my
house - not certain but I am sure they are both further than 5K

I can't remember seeing a BT exchange the size of the sun levitating
somewhere above the earth's atmosphere! Maybe that's the exchange my
line's connected to. It's rubbish on voice.
Oh well, live and learn!
