HAve you ever had Home Highway - BT ISDN - and is the box still on the wall. I had mine disabled 2 years ago after lack of use!! Yeah I know. But the box reamined - I never got a connection speed of more than 2k with the modem after this (It used to be 4.5k bytes/chars per sec). Yesterday having decided to go with NTL Broadband cable modem - I removed the box from the wall and the phone socket - Hey presto my connection speed went back to an impressive 5.2k !! This is after speeking to BT and demon (In the past) about this matter - having had the gain turned to max - buying a new modem. Apparently the techies at BT do not know thatthe HH box effectively DACs'd the line - hence the x2 drop in connection speed. Cheers Dr. P
