I have all of the above but do get decent data rate. In fact, the DSL line is running about 4' above a microwave in the kitchen. IMO this is less of an issue @ 256 Kbps, for higher data rates I agree. > However I think that parallel lines before > the splitter will be the most common problem in the near future. Absolutely, and without any reason. IMO MTNL has done a real poor job - in *not* training their personnel to instruct subscribers where to put the splitter. The guy who services my area told that it did not matter where I put the splitter! Ironically, the correct config is documented on their web site http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/internetservices/adsl/newuserguide.pdf I was responding to the OP who mentioned that his data rate fell as soon as he hooked up a 2nd phone in parallel. I suspect his splitter is not at the right place. > MTNL to my utter suprise is leagues ahead of the private ISPs, both in > terms of service and network performance (all fingers tightly crossed > and a fervent prayer). Yes, in terms of network performance - the TELCO requirement of high uptime is built into the infrastructure. In terms of service, I have not experienced it. After having met their top brass w.r.t my billing issue I am not surprised at the lack of service. -- Arun Khan (knura at yahoo dot com) "Earth is a great, big funhouse without the fun." -- Jeff Berner -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
