You did get the discount though?

Worth more than the chocolates.

Ah yes I did get the discount...thanks for that. I guess the discount is being funded by a cutback in chocolate!

I will report back on my results once I install my faceplate.

Re: ADSL Faceplate Filters - SkyUser Reviews

Couple of new developments to this thread.

1) RUNITDIRECT have now sent us their products to review, which I shall complete over the next few days.

2) Tamar have sent us the following message today.

Quote:
I hope you don’t mind, (the discount coupon code) but I have re-enabled it until the end of July. I have also removed all restrictions, so your users can use the coupon as many times as they like and the 10% discount can be applied against all our products, not just ADSL filters…

Smile Re: ADSL Faceplate Filters - SkyUser Reviews

After reading the review (and a 10% discount )
It's made me finally get my finger out and order a faceplate.

I've currently got a filter plugged into the test socket, it seemed the easy way to do it
I'm a little bit nervous.
I'm not too good at DIY.

Judging by this post it's took over 2 years for me to get round to doing it

Cool Re: ADSL Faceplate Filters - SkyUser Reviews

Well 6 weeks after I ordered the Tamar faceplate, I got round to fitting it!
At first the router kept rebooting about every 10 minutes So I swapped the connections to A/B on the backbox (which I also fitted) and all seems to be running ok

SNR (dB): 8.0 14.0
Attn(dB): 36.0 23.0
Pwr(dBm): 19.8 0.8
Max(Kbps): 9280 1184
Rate (Kbps): 8096 416

Total time = 1 days 2 hours 3 min 3 sec
SF = 5514729
CRC = 323
LOS = 0
LOF = 0
ES = 227

It used to sync at just under 7000 on a good day with crc errors at about 1500
after 24 hours. The longest it's gone before rebooting was about 8 days.
I'll see how long it lasts now

Kidd

Re: ADSL Faceplate Filters - SkyUser Reviews

I have now had chance to review the 3 face plates that Run-IT-Direct sent us to try. I have amended my original review to reflect the newer results.
