No broadband is like not having bread in the house for which to make sandwiches. I'd go nuts.

Although I'm switching to Verizon DSL on Monday, and I wonder if my speeds will be decent even with a long(and I mean long) phone line extended across 2 rooms almost.

I have DSL and it's extended about that far. It doesn't make any difference what so ever.

RF · July 2nd, 2004

I could only see a problem start to show itself if you break the line into 15 pieces. Instead of one solid phone line.

i have a 100 foot phone cord going across 2 rooms and my DSL is still fast, it's rated 1500/128 and i get about 1330/130 out of it.

well, you do know that DSL signal deteriorates? that's why there's short range limits on DSL. however...the limit is like 18,000 feet, i dont see why a 100 foot cord is that bad

Of course I know that, my buddy from my tfc days was a suffered from it

Edit: Actually, come to think of it my aunt had a problem when she had a phone line run from her wall upstairs, patched together with an old phone line and a new phone line she bought the day I setup her computer. It turned out her house was so old, they had to re-wire it all for dsl. After that she was still having slow speeds and it was the old piece of wire mixed with the new wire that was slowing her down.

Hushy/Reich: Yeah, I'm guessing the phone line extension should be about 50+ feet. However, my house was built in the 1970's so I'm a bit worried of what kind of performance I'll get. The only other person in the neighborhood who I know has DSL says his is fine. Although, his house may have been built 10-15 years after mine, since out neighborhood has expanded 2 times since it was originally built according to what I've seen(in fact, there are new houses that were just built this past winter, but they're horrible quality and I feel bad for those people who move into those overpriced crapholes

).

But here's another thing, the 50+ phone line has been trampled and runs underneath the rug and has been there since summer of 2000. They're 2 20+ foot grey lines connected with a coupler. I never got speeds upwards of 28.8K via dial up modem back when I used it.

BTW, Microsoft Royale is sweet.

Sure beats the hell out of the default theme.
