Thanks for confirmation on Hlog

The original installing BTOR engineer used my shielded 2 pair extension cable from upstairs to make the master socket downstairs.

Mine was done in similar manner except all on one floor. old extension converted to new master trough four pair twisted cable that was already in place.

Then the installer back wired trough the same cable two extensions in as you say a `daisy chain` manner.

I dont think its wise to use this cable for wiring extensions and I can not run new cable trough the cavities as this is rented property.

I only use one telephone so quite happy to leave it as it is and use it at the master socket.


Ps. I am reading trough your thread (FTTC - Distance from the Cabinet - Realistic speed estimate) as there is some intereting stuff in there. I am currently on page no.27 but now you have told me the conclusion lol. I will still carry on as I want to see what has bt and plusnet done in before the final solution.

Regards

Haha!

That's the SHORT version of my epic tale!!!!!


I do have to acknowledge my gratitude to Plusnet for their perseverence over the 11 months it took to finally fix the intermittent issue.

I'm not convinced that all ISPs would have done that.

I do have to say though, that without detailed stats & particularly the graphs, I might not have fared quite so well.

If anyone ever wondered, that's why I wrote the monitoring/graphing programs (with much assistance from others who still frequent this & the Kitz forums, including the maestro himself, Asbokid)
