You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In [[telephony]], '''pair gain''' is the transmission of multiple [[plain old telephone service]] (POTS) channels over the [[twisted pair]] [[local loop]] traditionally used for a single [[subscriber line]] in [[telephone]] systems. Pair gain has the effect of creating additional subscriber lines. This is typically used as an expedient way to solve subscriber line shortages at a location by using existing wiring, instead of installing new wires from the [[telephone exchange|central office]] to the customer premises. The term was invented in the middle 20th century by analogy with earlier use of '''gain''' to extend telephone local loops far from the [[telephone exchange]].

A '''pair gain system''' consists of [[concentrator]]s or [[multiplexer]]s which combine the individual channels into a single signal that is transmitted through the existing copper cable pair. The signals are then separated into individual subscriber lines at the customer premises. The '''pair gain unit''' which performs the multiplexing can provide a second telephone connection over a single subscriber line (called an Analog Multi-Line Carrier or AML) in circumstances where a customer wants to add a new phone line for a [[fax machine]] or [[dial-up]] internet connection.  A larger analog pair gain system made by [[Anaconda Copper|Anaconda]] in the 1960s provided seven lines. Some pair gain units can expand the number of subscriber lines available over a single copper pair to as many as sixty. Large pair gain units are stored in [[serving area interface]]s or metal [[Enclosure (electrical)|cabinets]] typically resembling small apartment-sized [[refrigerator]]s alongside or near roadways that overlie communications rights-of-way.

[[DACS (Digital Access Carrier System)]] is a form of pair gain used in the [[United Kingdom]]. It uses a form of [[time-division multiple access]] called [[ISDN]].

Analog pair gain came into disfavor in the 21st century, as it is detrimental to high speed dial-up modem connections, does not support [[56k]] and is incompatible with [[digital subscriber line]] (DSL) systems. 20th century [[Subscriber Loop Carrier]] systems had similar problems. More recent digital pair gain systems, however, restore 56k and DSL capabilities by performing the functions of a [[DSLAM]] at the pair gain device.

More recently, the term '''pair gain''' has been used to refer to ''any'' multiplex/demultiplex unit used between the [[telephone exchange|central office]] and end users, not just equipment used with copper twisted pair.

Where [[digital loop carrier]] (called Remote Integrated Multiplexer in Australia) is installed, [[broadband Internet]] subscribers may be disappointed when informed that although initial line checks were successful, high speed connections such as [[ADSL]] are unavailable due to infrastructure issues.  The problem is that pair gain lines cannot carry high speed data.<ref>[http://www.comparebroadband.com.au/article_59_Pair-Gain-and-RIM-Failures.htm Pair Gain or RIM Failures]</ref>
