It is a trial and error thing. If no improvement then its No big deal but for a slow speed circuit it may be a godsend? I'll try it out on my AOL 1.1 Mb connection (1152 kbps/288 kbps) and Fingers crossed .Supposed to be " up to 8Mbs link"
Only People that won't benefit are those on cable BB? (right or wrong?)

Update on my line ...No Joy It is only certain conbinations that can be Updated. The common Orange /White wire input dates from the 60's is not Changeable!
Has to be a 4 wire connection and you have to work out the code from this Page www.telephonesuk.co.uk/wiring_info.htm I'd say this upgrade will benefit a few hundred people at best

How about testing shizzle like this thoroughly before posting. One cannot always rely of 'Hints & Tips' garnered from other sites and forums...

At least you can see I told you my findings /conclusions. Am Not an electrical or BT engineer Have a cousin and Pal who I don't see much who are BT engineers and they would have pointed out the catch in the Tip in a second.
Odd thing I did notice in the Diagram is that terminal wire No 3 is not "straight through" only 2 & 5 (4 is redundant) and on the same page its says that
Quote: On older installations (pre-1980) cream or grey cables were used. They contained conductors coloured blue to pin 2, orange to pin 5, brown to pin 3 and green to pin 4 (if used), on some conversions green was used for pin 3 and brown for pin 4. Additional Bells are wired between pin 3 (orange/white) and pin 5 (white/blue).
Rather work out a car wiring loom routing than this
