BT Broadband customers can now get their hands on the iPlate for free and start benefiting from faster broadband speeds.
The iPlate, also known now as the “BT Broadband Accelerator” is a device that plugs into your phone socket and cuts out the bell wire in your phone socket by bypassing it. The bell wire attracts electrical interference that can slow up broadband connections with the electrical interference that it attracts.
The benefits can be quite substantial with broadband speeds tests showing that 50% and above speed increases can be achieved in some cases by having the iPlate fitted.
The iPlate is available free to BT Broadband customers although there is a £1.20 postage charge, customers of other broadband providers can however buy the iPlate for under £10 online from places like ebay.
