Thanks everyone for the helpful replies.
Bugger re GSM 2g issue. I say bugga, as the 3g gsm module is a $330 fix.
I've opened my panel and do indeed, have a 2g module. Is the module something I can swap over, fairly easily (guessing will require a reprogram with my mobile#)?
And the central filter, I don't have one! Thanks for the heads-up.
In regard to the house wiring, I have a single CAT5 wire going into the property (from street) with phone running to 3 points in the house. The electrician presumably jumped the alarm line in with telephone eg alarm is not on a dedicated line. Obviously, this means I would need to install a central filter at the junction/jump point in order to be effective, correct?
I have contacted my builder requesting his electrician install the central alarm filter. I've also asked the alarm company who did my (alarm) wiring for install. The alarm guy mentioned he was a sparkie for years before getting into the security game. Waiting to hear back from either. Happy to pay either to sort this.
Another thing I will note, my ADSL2+ was approx. 1.4mb/s down before renos.. After all new wiring house wide, I can only sync at 1.1mb/s
And mind you, this is without the alarm connected to line (only feeding adsl2+; we don't even use a land line/phone). Hoping my all new internal wiring isn't a crap job. An apprentice did a good deal of the wiring with the main sparkie not even on site, for much of the work
