Re: Cat5/Cat6...... Phone/DSL install If you aren't going to run individual wires for each outlet, then upgrading to cat5/cat6 won't do squat because you won't be able to convert them to network wiring in the future.
At this point you gotta ask yourself this: Why would you even bother? Are you trying to get a better signal quality for the DSL? Why are you trying to get a better signal at the DSL? Is it losing the connection often? If so, have you tried the DSL to be at the NID to see if the connection stabilized? If it doesn't stabilize, you have other issues.
edit - To go further on the DSL signal quality, you need to find out whether or not you already get the speed you're supposed to get. Either in the DSL's config page where you see the stats and sync speed, or a DSL diagnostic tool that gets the sync speed. If the sync speed matches what you should get from your ISP, then you're okay and don't need anything more. |

| The reason for replacing the wire is that the phones do have a little static in them and the phone company says that there line tests are ok. They say its the inside wiring. This seems to cause the DSL to drop every now and then. After checking the stats on my modem,I am showing some noise in the lines for the DSL.
Since I have cat5/6 already from other projects,I figured I would just use it and replace all of it.
As for speeds I am supposed to get 3.0 down and 384 up. My speed tests vary from 2.2dn/.30 up to 2.6dn/.33 up. My speed seems to be where it should be. |

Take you a plain old telephone and plug it into your NID. I bet you have static there also.
The Telco told me that too. Time and time again but it was always in their lines to the house. We had static, hum and distortion, Old underground system. I switched to Verizon Home Connect wireless and disconnected the hard wired system. Works very well. |
