Hi,
I consider myself to have a good understanding of home wiring, master filters, xdsl etc, I am a noob here so hope i have posted this in the correct place?
I have had bad packet loss on my connection for sometime but have not been experiencing dropouts of any sort, I have contacted my ISP as i had checked my
stats at my modem and carried out some tracert tests and find certain hops inactive.
However my ISP insists it is not there problem as they can have done tests (DSLAM) and can confirm its reaching my house ok, anyways i decide to upgrade my
house wiring and hardware as Fibre for me is too long to wait.
I plan to run cat6 from the demarc to a patch panel/switch/modem, I am planning to bin the BT sockets and upgrade to RJ45 wall plates, I wont need a master filter as im on a naked
connection and plan to split the line through the cat6 cable this is not an issue? so i got up in the roof where my demarc is and found two pairs of wires one pair not connected at
all and one pair connected to the phone line that i am currently running off.
Both pairs have the same colour wires i.e red black, so i am assuming that the correct pair has been connected to my internal wiring for me to have a sound connection, It
turns out my connection is far from good, Im not sure how to proceed from here as i would like to think the correct pair is connected how can i be sure are there any simple tests
i can carry out?
Ive looked at images of other wiring diagrams at the demarc and colours are specific and colour coded for ease of understanding.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
