Lightning protector for telephone NID

Why go to that amount of trouble....Just disconnecting the pairs from the LP was enough.

I apologize. This was meant to be sent only to a friend who is considering signing up for faster DSL. *She*'s the one who won't understand the previous paragraph, at least the part about filters.

I expect that Steven will undrstand it, considering he wrote it!

I otoh, had a lot of trouble understanding what I was talking about when I read it in the ng. ;

Wow, I checked and I hadn't even sent it to the friend.

Again, refers to my friend's house.

I see at the end is a line directed to Steve, asking if the phone wobbled. So in the middle of writing, I forgot that I was writing and an email and thought it was meant to be a post too.

Are you asking if the wall phone wobbled? Yes it did and a few times came off the wall. It is a very expensive Motorola Base station and I was lucky nothing broke. To make things even faster for my DSL I installed a Cat5 cable direct to the DSL router/modem and now the signal is just under 6, and at the demark it is under 7 and that I can't figure out since the top speed is 6.

many years ago a burglar was busy in our area cutting phone lines, before breaking in the homes.

jerk must of hit 30 homes, cut phone lines so security systems couldnt dial out.

bell telephone was going around instaling a NID at each home.

I had my NID installed high up, where a extension ladder would be needed to reach the nid or line, preventing tampering.

my grandma, who could barely walk was living here and I idnt want our home burglarized.

many years later the NID went bad and I had them replace it, with one on ground level.
