Central Splitter installed

I've finally got the C10100E Central Splitter (from MATS Systems) installed, and I'm pleased to see that the new connection speed is a reasonable amount faster than previously recorded. This also means that I've been able to relocate the modem and VoIP hardware into the storeroom (instead of sitting on the kitchen bench!)

ADSL2+ (After Central Splitter) | | Upstream | Downstream | | — | — | — | | SNR Margin | 9.0 dB | 8.5 dB | | Line Attenuation | 22.5 dB | 33.5 dB | | Speed | 942,200 | 12,129,800 |

Windows Imaging Component RC1

The Windows Imaging Component (WIC) provides WIC-enabled applications to display, edit, and access metadata for any image format for which a WIC-compliant CODEC is installed.

This looks like it might be useful if you need to open or examine graphics files.

It appears that it also comes as part of .NET Framework 3.0.
