Bigpond ADSL, I'm just outside the 1.5k exchange inner band TPG page says: Line of sight: 1630m. Possible cable dist.: 2295m. I get: DSL Connection Details DSL Line (Wire Pair): Line 1 (inner pair) Protocol: G.DMT2 Annex A Downstream Rate: 5630 kbps Upstream Rate: 747 kbps Channel: Interleaved Current Noise Margin: 12.5 dB (Downstream) 16.5 dB (Upstream) Current Attenuation: 40.7 dB (Downstream) 22.3 dB (Upstream) Current Output Power: 19.3 dBm (Downstream) 11.9 dBm (Upstream) does that look reasonable ? it all seems to work OK, no real problems Question: I use a 5 metre extension cord from wall subsocket to ADSL, and, the phone sockets is perhaps 15 metres from Telstra 'sub' MDF I've been tempted to hook up a (parallel) phone wire off the MDF to a dedicated wall socket for ADSL so, replace existing 15? meteres old wiring + 3 meters to subsocket off original T socket+ 5 metre extension with 4 meter dedicate ADSL socket from MDF is it worth the effort, will I see real improvement?
