Exploring the Impact of Cable Types on Internet Quality: Router to Box Connections

Hello, I would like to know if the type of cable affects the quality of the Internet?
I mean mainly the one that connects the router and the box (I do not have a landline). If so, what's the best?

The cable matters. For ADSL it should be YTKSY or UTP5 cable.

So if I replaced this cable, I would have faster internet? Because I have internet from neostrada with a speed of up to 10 Mb / s, and I have a speed of 1.3 Mb / s.
And I would like to know how much such a cable costs.

Not.

Correctly.

You have the Internet, as you can see .... look for it. Or maybe you will leave the house and take a walk in the appropriate stores?

Uncle google doesn't bite

Good advice, don't take any cables. Neostrada is not about connecting a light bulb, although it also requires minimal knowledge and skills.

Can anything be done to make the internet faster? And what affects speed?
Because my friend who lives next to me has the same internet and has faster speeds. As far as I remember, it's 4Mb / s.

My download speed varies at its best 170 kbps, and so I am at 80-120 kbps at this time.

Download it and see what speed you reach. -----> http://noc.gts.pl/100mb.gts

Antivirus (if you have avast, turn it off and see), firewall

You can also use download managers, I recommend Download Accelerator Plus (it is available in your native language

If we are talking about ADSL internet:
From my several years of experience it appears that a dozen or so meters of "flat extender" can lower the synchronization by a few megabits. It is always a good idea to replace the cable with a correct, shielded one. Especially when we are surrounded by disturbances on all sides, which is rather inevitable nowadays.

Do you think that if you change the 5 mb cable, the quality will improve along the entire cable route, from the rack in the switchboard to your telephone socket?

Well, I have ADSL internet and I use a regular cable (10 meters), is it best to replace them with those previously mentioned by my colleague YTKSY or UTP5?

I am using the Sagem F @ st 2704 router.

Boy, and you yours, they tell you that the fire is burning and you are pushing your hands. Come on with this cable, do not bother in the installation because you will definitely improve yourself.

Then there is any other option to improve the download speed?

Yes. Move closer to the headquarters: black:
You can improve the critical element that gives you hope for at least 10% profit. Otherwise, it is like changing the speaker cables to gold-plated wires for better sound quality.
We don't know anything about your link. 1.3Mbps can be on both 6km of good link and 500m of bad link. In the first case, you can only sympathize with - in the second, there is room for maneuvering, but not blind.
Any measurements, statistics from the router?

Which specific statistics would you be interested in?
I am throwing something from xDSL:

If it is a flat cable, then it is not suitable.
Purchase a UTP cable (such as for LAN), arrange it from the can to the router. Use one pair, e.g. blue. in the box, connect to the wires that are currently used, and at the other end directly make the RJ11 terminal by inserting the used pair into the middle pins (pins 3 and 4).

rather, I would not agree with the previous speaker ... from what I read - distance from CA - nothing else
give me on PW - data neo and I will tell where the problem is - I am at work today until 20:00

I can already see those RJ11 earned without tools, massacre. And then zero net and cry.

I wouldn't be sure about it
Have you ever opened something without a screwdriver? You don't need a crimper to earn tips

Life has taught me that most of the people who started using RJ11, RJ45 to save money would later buy ready-made cables. Although this does not rule out exceptions. It takes some knowledge and skills. I hope it works, but whether it will improve the speed, you doubt it yourself.

when it comes to the transfer - what does the rj 11 connection have to do with it? ano nothing - either there is net or there is no net, but you need to know how the crimper works

Oh, if it were that simple . Wrong RJ-socket for the wire used, badly clamped - the internet works, with errors, but it works. Thousands of correctable FECs cause "empty runs" - the link retransmits the packets and a useful transfer is what gets correctly received.

If you want to have a bigger transfer, buy a higher speed from your operator.

This topic is not new, but I can see quite controversial "answers" here. The funniest thing is that you have to finish 2 faculties to earn a twisted pair with plugs. One is cable, the other is plug-in, confirmed by the state examination . And yet the rj crimping machine costs 12 zlotys today, there are video guides on how to correctly select, machine and crimp. To the point- a few days ago, a colleague from work said that he had called an orange specialist home. It has neo up to 10 Mb, and it has not reached more than 7. So he invited the said specialist. A person skilled in the art has replaced the existing single-pair ytksy twisted pair with some new type of twisted pair. From what I understand- another way of twisting the veins or something. It was about several meters - from the box next to the fence to the router in the building. And ... my friend now has a stable 12 Mb. I wonder if anyone can write something more about the new twisted pair technology? As far as my friend remembers - a word like: pumping (!?) or similar, came from the mouth of a professional.

As far as I know, a more twisted cable is less susceptible to interference and probably the old YTKSY was screenless, and the new one? Maybe a professional even grounded the screen . This full synchronization may drop even further, and the improvement may only be deceptive after resetting the machine that determines the stable speed. Time will tell.
Pumping? In my region, bakers, builders, etc. work in this industry. I am a mechanic myself and such various strange terms are used / invented and disseminated by them, in other regions this slang already differed in part. I haven't met pumping myself and I have no idea what it means. As for crimping RJ, it is a simple matter, but sometimes it will not tighten properly and there may be circuses, as well as there is no transition, it is worse when there is poor contact.
