What is an ‘Isolation Test’?

An isolation test is used to check for interference from faulty splitters/filters, telephone devices, and cables. To perform an isolation test, unplug everything from your phone line, including:

  • telephones, faxes, and answering machines
  • ADSL filters and splitters
  • Foxtel or other PayTV Set Top Boxes which connect to a phone line
  • EFTPOS machines
  • Back-to-base alarm systems (if possible)
  • Extension cables and double adapters.

Once you have unplugged everything from your phone line, connect ONLY your ADSL modem – without a filter – and see if your problem continues. If it doesn’t, then something you unplugged is the source of your reduced speed and/or dropouts; re-introduce devices one at a time to find the source of the problem.

Earning Statement

RVPs and SVPs (including Circle of Champions members) earn annual income achieved by fewer than 1% of ACN IBOs. Their success stories and earnings are extraordinary and not typical. Earnings as an ACN IBO are based solely upon the successful sale of products to customers and their usage of those products. Individuals will incur expenses in operating their ACN business, such as the sign-up fee and renewal fee, as well as other possible operating expenses. As with any business, earnings and success at ACN are not guaranteed but depend primarily on the individual’s commitment, persistence and effort. Individuals may not earn income and may lose money as an IBO.
