Possible improvement in the sync rate/attentuation?

But it looks much neater.
If you also get a filtered bell wire (and have extension phones), then you can get dramatic improvements,
Your required noise margin for stability can be greatly reduced, allowed an increased sync speed.
[An i-plate will do this for about £10 - but you still need those trailing filters.]
The first step is to measure your noise margin - if it's about 6 - 9dB then it's probably not worth doing anything.
If it's bigger than that - try getting PN to reduce it and if this fails, start thing about various faceplates / i-plates.

I've always had a noise margin of 6dB, but by fitting a filtered faceplate and thus sorting my internal wiring my speeds more than doubled.

These are the stats since having the facplate and high speed modem cable to me its evidence that the cable/plate works my sync speed used to be 3500 now its 5000. The cable is a lot better than an extension if its for BB
If your speed is above 7000 then any increase would be very small

but if you use a length Cat5 or high speed cable between your router and telephone sockets - how does that help if you then have a kilometer or so of CW1308 twisted pair / unscreened cable or equivalent with thicker outer covering to the exchange, via one or two distribution boxes with wires exposed ?.
Just a bit puzzled ?

Then your speed will not change!
(Things should be different on ADSL2+ though).
Generally, you will get a better improvement if you are cluttered up with telephone extensions (especially unused ones).
I assume that your router is plugged directly into the BT master socket?
I think samuria is reffering to the wire from BT socket to router and the need for it to make good physical connections.

I used to do a lot of network problems in the ICI factory and the noise cables pick up is surprising moving a cat 3 cable 2 feet meant the difference between a printer working or not

But of course you are right - if it works it works -
But just a tale - when I first brought this laptop home and wanted to connect to the router in the office with the desktop and work in the lounge ( no wireless ) al I had was one of those horrible cheap extension leads with 15 meters of flat cable. I thought - this will never work - but it did and I got a sync of about 5M !!. I was amazed.
I still don't use Cat5 - just a reasonable twisted pair - and I get 7M. But I do live in the country, and it's very quiet electrically here.
[edit - not like an industrial site - ]
This ADSL is a funny unpredicable beast at times.

There are advantages to being out in the sticks - no RFI.

Quote from: Samuria I saw a difference the second I plugged it in.
Ditto.
Replaced my ISP-supplied router cable with an ADSLnation (0.5m) one and went up 500k or so.
