Re: [Speed Problem] Lost high frequencies over last few weeks Yes, the AM stations here are actually rather orderly laid out.

Interestingly, I had better DSL quality during the winter than the summer, which is the opposite of what I'd expect, if AM radio is the culprit. The wintertime has the greatest AM radio signal strength, as the MW frequencies bounce off the atmosphere during hours of darkness, and there is more darkness during winter.
That's a cool idea, just let the phone ring for a long time in order to send the maximum of 48V over the phone line for as long as possible 
Most (all?) phone companies have a limit on this now, and just disconnect your call if it rings and goes unanswered for something like 30 rings or so.
As for my Cat 5 wiring, I'm pretty sure they aren't grounded. I think that both ends of the unused pairs are simply floating, connected to nothing. The NID test should bypass all of my Cat 5 wiring, regardless.
I'll try inspecting the NID and repeating the test. |
