Hi, I just got connected to VDSL with Snap but I am just wondering as I can squeeze just a little bit out of it if iI had a splitter which I don't need. I have over 5 jackpoints. They are all connected with a blue and white cable, if I was to talk out those cables where I dont use the jackpoint would this cut out my internet or is it safe to just take those wires out?
Thanks

Also people, think about other fellow VDSL users. If your wiring is impacting your own VDSL performance, this can also affect other users too. If you connection has to pump more power out, then this increases cross-talk.

It might not sound like much, but when you have say 10 poor VDSL connections in the same cable wrapper, because they couldn't be bothered sorting their wiring too, you can imagine how the impact will begin to escalate.

If you have VDSL without POTS (naked):
- get a master splitter installed, or
- have a single dedicated twisted pair feed from demarc to modem with absolutely no other wiring

If you have VDSL with POTS:
- get a master splitter installed
