[QUOTE="eternal-september.org>, Tim+"] Since I've just finished rewiring my under-stairs cupboard for phone & broadband and installed my new VDSL router/modem, I'm wondering if there's any point worrying about the relatively short 1 metre modem cable that looks too flat to have any twisted wires within it.[/QUOTE] If you think about the piece of wet string, potentially thousands of metres long, which connects you to the exchange - through overhead cables picking up all sorts of RFI shit, underground cables in water- filled ducts, possibly old, crumbling aluminium cable, multiple joints, pole-top joint boxes vulnerable to the elements, etc. etc. a 1m bit of expensive cable is going to make precisely fuck all difference. Some time ago, for giggles, I got a Belkin "ultimate/premium" or similar branded RJ11 - BT plug twisted pair cable from a car boot sale, brand new and boxed, priced at 14.99, for 50p. It reduced the sync speed by about 20% over the flat cable supplied with the router. It's the equivalent of Russ Andrews offering a SINGLE 13A mains fuse for 25 quid and promising it will improve sound quality: [URL]http://www.russandrews.com/product.asp?lookup=1&region=UK&currency=GBP&p[/URL] f_id=1016
