[SEDXC] UVERSE COMES TO TOWN

[gregpotter at charter.net]

A lot of the problems are caused by unterminated and unfiltered "bridge 
taps".  In other words,  phone lines inside the house without anything 
connected to them are connected in parallel with the Uverse line and no 
bandstop filter is in place.  Sometimes they are just the right length 
to be a quarter wavelength on 80, 40, 20  meters etc. , but even if they 
are not resonant,  they act just like antennas.   Each phone line should 
be filtered with a bandstop filter with the exception of the actual 
Uverse line.  This will decrease the interference considerably.  AT&T 
Technicians have these filters on their truck for the most part and 
after you call in they will probably come out and put them in place.
