    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):confused:

    thanks,
    andrew.

    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

    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 :D

    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.
