Have you tried getting an I-Plate from BT Thanks for the reply Graham, No I haven't considered this option, experimentation has shown that I have to remove the lower plate of the master socket and plug into the main socket behind to get any internet connection at all. In such a case I don't know if an 'I' plate would help. Also I am not a BT Total Broadband subscriber, I pay BT for the line rental and AOL for Broadband and 'phone calls and am one year into a new 18 month contract with AOL. Breaking the existing contract, taking up a new deal and getting an 'I' plate seems a bit extreme, though it may have to come to that. However a 1.5Mb increase on my present nominal 'best possibe' 256kb (but actual 150kb) is not to be sneezed at. Sceptic that I am, I doubt that this kind of increase would be nothing less than miraculous. What an I saying, a reliable 150kb link available during the daytime and early evening would be a great improvement on my present service. Footnote: It doesn't mean much to me but there are mumblings in the village about the lines from the exchange being aluminium rather than copper - does this explain anything to the experts?
