Re: DSL hookup wire length question


The 15 foot flat cable issue is not a "rant" and any anyone that tells
you otherwise is ignorant of the facts. The cable that goes between
the telco outlet and the modem should be as short as possible and
twisted pair if possible. If it's the flat telephone chord anything
longer than 6ft is going to start acting like an antenna, accepting
any interference and as the cable is stranded it will have a high
attenuation, both will increase errors and decrease speed.

If you don't know how to make a twisted pair telephone cable one can
be had at Radio shack Catalog #: 279-108
