another stupid question

this question is even stupider then the last one, but....

is it possible to get ADSL over a split line? (the kind that only lets you get 28k over a dialup connection)

thanks,

No, quality and noise is to bad to allow a decent service. you line will fall the test each time. Advise, take a hammer to the dac box. when they come to fix it, insist on a new real line.:ninja:

LOL

now, to find the damn thing........

if I just asked them nicely to remove it (cos the other half of the line isnt even being used), would they do it?

thanks again,
andrew

i think they would have to replace it cos arent split lines illegal?

yeah its illegal, good luck in getting them out to actually fix the thing...

expect a long long wait and hours and hours on the phone..

other options would be to get ISDN, but since ur on about dsl nevermind

I don't think it is. You'll find more info on the IrelandOFFLine forum, but basically they aren't "illegal" ... just their use is a grey area... they are only to be used within reason to supply service .. of course how you define "within reason" is open to all sorts of discussion. I could be wrong, but I think thats the consensus of the experts over on IoffL.
