I have two phones in parallel "after" the splitter and get about 230 Kbps.
Most of the time it is RFI that screws the speed. The sources include TVs, calculators, feature phones particularly cordless, ups, phone and electrical cables running together. But the biggest problem is TVs and feature phones.
I have all of the above but do get decent data rate. In fact, the DSL line is running about 4' above a microwave in the kitchen. IMO this is less of an issue @ 256 Kbps, for higher data rates I agree.
However I think that parallel lines before the splitter will be the most common problem in the near future.
Absolutely, and without any reason. IMO MTNL has done a real poor job - in *not* training their personnel to instruct subscribers where to put the splitter. The guy who services my area told that it did not matter where I put the splitter! Ironically, the correct config is documented on their web site http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/internetservices/adsl/newuserguide.pdf
I was responding to the OP who mentioned that his data rate fell as soon as he hooked up a 2nd phone in parallel. I suspect his splitter is not at the right place.
MTNL to my utter suprise is leagues ahead of the private ISPs, both in terms of service and network performance (all fingers tightly crossed and a fervent prayer).
Yes, in terms of network performance - the TELCO requirement of high uptime is built into the infrastructure. In terms of service, I have not experienced it. After having met their top brass w.r.t my billing issue I am not surprised at the lack of service.
