Phole Line Split with filter for phone affect DSL Speed

Hi,

Without being on the phone for hours for nothing I am trying to figure out sometihng. I am currently paying for 3mb service but download speed through speed check is just above 1mb. The line that I have connected to the DSL is split with a filter on the other line for my home phone service. Would this cause a significant decrease in speed?

Thanks.

The dsl micro-filter does not lower the connection speed. You need to do more troubleshooting. Try testing your speed with the DSL modem plugged straight into your NID if you can.

I have connected the modem 2 different ways: one with the splitter for the phone and one without. When connected without the filter the download speed increases 400kb. I have a technician coming out tomorrow to test the lines. Is there any other work that I could do to investigate on my own before he comes out?

If you already have a tech coming out just wait.

Are there any specific questions I should have for him/ her or any infomration/ reports that I should obtain specifically? My fiance will be there so I want to make sure she gets the necessary info.
