    Hi, when i check my line online it says that it "may be suitable, subject to conformation" but when i check my neighbours it says "Your line is suitable for broadband". Is this because i have poor quality internal wiring or is it that they already have bb...(havent asked them yet)

    PS. when the line enters the house it goes into a old, small black box and is split 3 ways...would this affect the quality of the signal...Also, how could I find out the noise level (attenuation, i think) on my line (can eircom tell ya that info)

    Thanks

    Not sure about the other points, but one indication could be at what speed you connect at via regular dialup. I connect at 50.6 all the time which indicates to me that the line quality is good at the point where my modem is.

    thats your problem the lines are in parallel from that black box and not in series. could you disconnect 2 of the 3 ??
