Anybody use one of these? BT I-Plate (iPlate)
If so what sort of results have you got? I've just ordered one.

Used an equivalent, made a good difference but if the signal is poop when it gets to your house, it'll be poop round it too.

I had one of them fitted for abut 14 months, gave me no end of problems. Had random line drops, poor connection speeds. Took 4 BT engineers to work out what the problem was with my broadband.

Removed the box and fitted a standard one, speeds improved and never had a line drop since. Thats been 6 months now.

It didnt work for me, but who knows might be better for you. I went through 4 of them and made my broadband worse.

Solved my poor BB speed & stability by removing the bell wire myself at the master socket and going around the house making sure that outlet socket wiring was secured properly.

Do you have a problem in the first place?

Save your money and just remove the orange and white and white orange from your master socket. (thats the colours it should be) Only leave wires connected to socket 2 and to socket 5. anything else can be disconnected.
costs nothing and takes 5 mins to do and will do the same as that gadget

Unfortunately not jaytc2003 but removing the bell wire etc that you mention can help , the biggest problem is the dongle filters that the ISPs' send you which are utter junk . I had a 6Mb connection which would drop out daily and sometimes re-sync at 1.3Mb or anywhere inbetween until I bought one of these: -

My connection now stays up for weeks at a time without re-syncing and at a steady 6Mb
