said by LeftyJR  :How can I tell that I'm close to the office... The only accurate way is to have the phone company do a mechanized loop test (MLT). This does a parametric test of the line. As a back of the envelop multiplying downstream attenuation by 250 gives you some idea. Keep in mind distance is a function of type of wire used and bridged taps.

Extension cord for modem power and either a laptop, long ethernet cable, or wireless for pc access. |

I've never noticed any noise on the line, no. |

Can you connect the modem to the NID and pull the stats from there? I'm guessing there is some sort of internal wiring problem. |
