My 2 oldest boys live with my ex (enough said really!) and are having problems with connection speeds from their Orange livebox. They used to get about 8mb, but now it struggles to 1.3mb.
I believe it is the telephone wiring in their house. It's old. very tatty and I can make head nor tail of how it's done, or where it runs to....
Before I attempt to run a new telephone extension line to their bedroom, would this be better to start with?
Plug the livebox into the master telephone socket, which is in their mum's bedroom next door to their room, and run a 10m RJ45 cable to the PC and another to their PS3 which are in their bedroom?
Have ordered a couple of RJ45's in anticipation.
My ex will not spend any money getting the telephone wire checked.
If anyone has any other suggestions, fire away!
Thanks.
