Re: Best wire for DSL service?

Are you sure about that? I thought the entire phone system was twisted for noise and hum suppression. My CAT3 cable has 3 twists per foot.
Thanks for the reply

Maybe the confusion is in me calling my cable CAT3. I should be saying CAT3 twist, 3 per 12", and I may have left the "twist" out in a post or 2. My cable is direct burial with a hard thick plastic outer sheath. It can contain any amount of pairs. I have seen it listed from 2 to 50 and possibly more. Mine happens to be the 4 pair.
