Heya,
I'm just moving into a new house which has a whole bunch of phone jacks (8+, all unused -naked adsl). I've already got adsl connected and have tried it in a 3 jacks, with speeds of 6,8 and 9mbit/sec for the different jacks.
It's an old house (1970's ish), so obviously there is some dodgy wiring with this fairly big speed change across the jacks.
What i'd like to know is :
1) are there any tips in finding the "main" telephone jack that will be the start of the series - this one should have the best speeds.
2) once I find the main jack, can I disconnect the telephone cable that leads AWAY from it to the other jacks. Will this improve speeds by further isolating the line?
Cheers
edit: should have added: on the boundary of a VDSL zone according to chorus (they said vdsl might work), so I was expecting sync rates of about 15mbit/sec on adsl... is this reasonable? (assuming good internal wiring)
