I had the cabler call around today to fit a central splitter to the phone line so the alarm system is now separate from the rest of the phone/ADSL circuits. He was going to run a cable from the central splitter to the modem and phone so they would also be separated but he couldn't do that as he couldn't drag the cable through.
As a result of what he has done we're now getting a line speed of around 5Mb/sec which is about four times what we were getting before this whole saga began. And Telstra haven't done their stuff about looking at the line between our place and the exchange. We might get some more speed yet!
The cabler recommended that we still go ahead with running a new cable from the splitter to the modem and phone, but that would probably mean relocating where they both are. I thought it best to delay this until you get home so we can discuss if we really want to do it and, if so, where the best place for them might be.
