Adsl Cable Routing?

[sungod]

Quick question fellas, my ADSL comes into my house from across the road underground via my redundant phone cable, I then just simply connect the router to the telephone socket. Speed seems to be ok for a 3BB 1100 baht premier package I think, question is, if they ran a new dedicated ADSL cable into the house, would the performance be enhanced by much?

Thanks in advance.

Basically you have fiber optic running down the street.

The drop loop is always copper.

I would do a ping test. Mine on TRUE is horrible. I assume because I am a long way from a telephone substation.

I pinged 56 ms yest which is awful.

It is possible you could benefit from them running their black 3 strand wire to your pole & installing a new little box.

Then get some HEAVY DUTY ordinary telephone line to your router.

Phelps Dodge - something like 1 or 1.5mm per strand

I just found some that says "24 AWG"

This says use CAT5 - whatever that is. I buy mine at Pantip Plaza.

Found a roll of 22 AWG which is much thicker gauge.

Right now. Grade F with 96% packet loss.

It might "if" you current line to the house is causing any problems. What are your DownLoad, Upload, Signal to Noise, and Sync Speed values? You get this valves by going into you ADSL modem/router setup menu, and getting these values from whatever menu/page that shows above stats. Bad stats will mean you have a poor physical line connection somewhere between your router/modem to the ISP's central station/DSLAM bank.

Don't assume any problem is caused by the pole line drop to your residence (ie., pole to residence). Any problems could further upstream between your residence and your ISP's central station/DSLAM bank.

I'm on a True "Cable" (not ADSL) Internet 20Mb/2Mb plan...about two months ago finished installing a brand new cable TV/internet trunk line in the moobaan...brand new. I just ran the Ping.test to Singapore and got a 0% Packet Loss, 64ms Ping, and 47ms Jitter, Line Quality of B, MOS of 4.31. And keep in mind when doing ping tests the further away the test server is, the worst your grade score/other scores will get because distance makes a difference as those electrons have to travel to the pingtest server and they travel back to you again...and during this travel they are being relayed/amplified by hops/servers in-between which increases ping time and can cause other problems.

For example I just ran pingtest again to the San Francisco server and got a 0% Packet Loss, 253ms Ping, 2ms Jitter, Line Quality C, and MOS 4.12. The Ping time, such as the 64ms and 253ms mentioned, usually have the greatest impact on your pingtest Grade score. And a ping time of 253ms to the U.S. is excellent, about the fastest a person can get from Thailand until we discover how to make electrons travel faster than the speed of light and make amplifiers/relays capable of not slowing down electrons....we'll both be dead and buried before that technology arrives.
