Belkin cable update

[old Bill]

Well as you know I canged routers today. Durning the course of the day the router has lit up the line fault message.  It was telling me it was my side of the master socket. The first thing I changed was the Belkin Pro cable  I switched to a spare ADSL Nation one. Since then the light has gone out and all seems stable. I wonder how many of my recent problems have been down to this cable. So going on this I would not recomend it to anyone.

That seems fairly conclusive, Bill, and I would generally trust ADSL Nation kit over most people's.

Hopefully, you've found the problem. Keep us posted.

Strangely enough Bill, ever since following your lead ( ) and putting in a Belikin Professional router cable, my sync has been hovering down the bottom of the range for 4.5Mb profile, and dropped into the 4Mb range a couple of times.

So I took it out and put back the original one, which looks like string by comparison, and I don't even know where it came from - probably came with my first router as I'll have seen no need to change it when I got a new router.

And my sync rate shot up to the 5Mb profile!!

So putting in a top quality RJ11 cable costs between half and 1Mb in download speed.
Weird or what?

Belkin or what?

Belkin or what?

Indeed, perhaps they should have stuck to surge protectors.

They were definitely better at them and UPSs.
