Re: Freeze.Panes revisited

The 7' probably has something to do with the type of wire and shielding. The
internal wiring is a lot lighter than the external.

SP are you set up to bells new standards with a demarcation point? If so that is
where you should put the modem and filter the rest of the house from there.

Here are the simple facts. Bell can currently only provide up to 5 meg on the
line where the modem outputs up to 10 meg to you. The bog is what Bell can
provide to the modem. After that, there is a very good chance that everything
you have operates at a much higher speed. Slow ethernet is 10 meg, faster is
100. Slow wireless is 12, faster wireless is 54 or 108.

IOW if you get your modem running as fast as it can everything else easily
exceeds it.

Here's a link to some info on how it works.

It is a good site to browse, you will find a lot of info directly related to
Simpatico.

All I knows is that when I phoned Sympatico, they said that my upstream
(outgoing) signal was much too weak and so that would slow down the
handshaking and normal communications between the Wolf's (I MEAN....
the Wife's ) Windowze Box. This would be improved by putting filters on
all the phone sockets in the house, including the ones we aren't using,
and also shortening the phone wire to the modem and lengthening the
EtherNet wire from the modem to the 'Puter.
