Does The Make Or Specification Of Splitter Have Any Effect On Broadband Speed

Hi, I find it somewhat peculiar that by changing the splitter improved my speed considerably . I was having speed problem and i know that it is not related to any cable connection or connections. I tried by changing the splitter and found that it has increased my speed considerably. The splitter i changed is dlink SP 202 splitter.
Ok, my query is does the model and specifications of the splitter have any influence in the internet download and upload speed?
To be more precise, Could a Quality splitter )three way, line modem and phone} support more data speed? When your dsl signal is filtered by splitter, it passes maximum to modem and filter maximum to telephone to reduce the noise in phone. Is there any specifications that one should use a specific splitter if he wishes to have more speed.? Is the SP 202 have any meaning in a splitter?
Ofcourse, your speed is regulated by ISP, but could the speed be different using different splitters. Are they different from one another? Want a detailed reply from experts

 

Yes, some splitters are made to boost the signal of high speed internet, some boost signals with 5.5dB output per port.

 

Hi, Could you elaborate a little more. The speed is supplied by the ISP for the plan you suggest. The splitter does split the dsl and phone signals as per the data speed provided by the ISP.
Then how the splitter could boost, i do not understand. My Query is related to the quality of the splitter. When i use dlink sp 202 model, i get the correct allotted speed for my plan like all others in the group. But when i use the small default splitter from dlink Cost 70 rupees, then the speed i get is half of the former. What made this huge change? Is it the dsl flow? or the inner parts of the splitter is designed such that it would pass only half of the speed of the data signal.
I also find it weird that at times the speed i get is around 10 mbps, where as in some other time of the day i get only half of the speed. Would you clarify on that

 

The broadband signal is not an electrical current, it is a frequency signal. Therefore, it is measured in decibels, not volts or amps. That being said, the weaker the signal, the lower it's capability for transmitting data.

The splitter is in some cases an amplifier. Similar to a home or car amp, it will boost the frequency strength of the signal. Think wattage on a radio broadcast.

As far as your speed, imagine the difference between a six lane highway and an old dirt road. Then, add traffic volume to that. Depending on the network capacity, it can be jammed with too much traffic (users) and that will slow the network's capability to transfer signals/data.

 

Yes! Here is a link to a blog where this question is well discussed and models suggested: https://www.akshatblog.com/adsl-splitter-models/

Yes, but in an indirect fashion. Your speed is limited by Signal to Noise ratio (snr) in the complete circuit between the ISP data exchange and your modem. Remember, less noise means greater snr. Greater snr means the provider can enable higher speeds, up to your plan limit. Conversely, they will reduce speeds if there is too much noise in the circuit. This is detected at the data exchange as Bit-Error-Rate (ber). When ber becomes too great, speed is reduced. A splitter with a better filter can reduce noise, thereby enabling the possibility for improved speed.

Your goal is to reduce the magnitude of noise injected into the circuit at your location. Keep leads short. Use fewest connectors possible. Use a good splitter, discussed in the link above. Keep leads clear of devices that are noise producers, such as fan motors and light emitting diodes (led)s.

 

Hi, Thanks all. Mikanic answer is correct. Today morning my speed picked up from5 mbps to 10 mbps. Thanks stru for the link

 

This is my setup...

I have one main line coming in from the poll..

Then i have that main line pumping through a Bypass Drop Amplifier.It's signal range is 5-42 / 54 1002 Mhz.This item all so helps with power surge protection as well.

Here is more info on what it does..

FYI this is not my model but it's for reference.

 

Oh and just to let you know some of them amplifiers require power...You will need an extra coaxial cable for the power and the plug...The power plug is not a normal 12 volt unit...Instead of a power cord it will use a coaxial cable as it's power cord.

See picture below...


But in the end i have not had any issues for the last 2 years living at my house.

 

Sorry for not getting back to you jraju, but I had some important personal business to take care of. Looks like the pros here at MG's took good care of you.. Sorry again for not getting back to you.
