Bandwidth of Wires

[jj]

I need to change the telephone wire in my house . Since i have Bell's
high speed internet do i have to take that into consideration when
replacing the telephone wire (Bell told me to use there three foot
"High bandwidth cable " to go to the telephone jack) . or will any
standard telephone wire do? because right now the wire in the house is
regular 4 conductor telephone stuff. I have to bring the wire outside to
the connection box.
thanks

I have to replace the telephone wires in my home because they are giving
off noise in the line and i 'm using Bells high speed internet and the
noise is preventing me to get connected. Bell told me that i must use
the wire they supplied with the modem to connect to the wall jack. They
called the wire a "High Bandwidth Wire" and a regular wire would not
work well. All the wire in the house from the wall jack to the
connection box outside is regular wire 4 conductor. Would i need to
install a special " high Bandwidth " wire in the wall of the house ? if
i do what kind of wire is it? and where would i get it?
thanks

Bell should be able to tell you where to get it - I would have thought
they would have brought some along with them when they connected you, or
at least they would have given you an idea of what to buy, and where.

You probably woudn't need to do this, but if you don't do as they ask
and then your connection doesn't work, you can go whistle up a rope for
any help from them. The wire likely won't cost a lot - after all. it is
only a yard, right?

I have an ADSL from my local telco, and the wire between the wall and
their box is about 6' long. On the surface, it looks like any of
thousands of connection wires, but it actually is a little different
than the wire going to the phone, from the wal jack just beside the ADSL
jack. And it works like a charm. (To the point all my friends who are
on the cable @home service are a little bitter...)

Go back to Bell and tell them that you need either the wire from them,
or a source and specs for this connector. That is all I can suggest.

You should be using at least Cat 3 cable. Ideally, if money's not an
object, you'd wire your entire house up with CAT 5 cabling, and use an
appropriate patch panel and punchdown blocks, and then use jumper cables
to connect the ethernet connections and the telephone connections to
their appropriate termination points.

I suspect you're not looking for something *that* sophisticated. Having
said that, cat 3 will be fine.
