Hi All, I'm helping my father-in-law wire up an extension for ADSL at home. He has 'helpfully' already run a cable under the carpet from one end of the bedroom where the master socket is to the extension next door... maybe about 10 metres. However the cable he has used is not twisted pair, but just the 4-wires-side-by-side telephone wiring that you often get between the phone and the wall. Anyone know if in practise this will make a difference vs. using cat5? I mean I'm sure the wires out in the street are probably just bits of old wet string anyways, so shouldn't make much different, but wasn't sure if a 10m run of non-twisted pair cable between the master socket and ADSL modem would be an issue? -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth at netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
