Telephone Extensions

[Goumet]

As we've just decorated, I have the oportunity to re-lay my telephone extensions in the house (We only have 1 BT Master Socket).

Whats the best quality cable (Extension Kit) to buy?, and any advise on extensions for ADSL (ADSL2, ADSL+).

I know generally there a bad idea, but I have no option.

Thanks

I wouldn't get an extension, they deteriorate after a while, my dad used to have one going from the bottom of the stairs to his computer room which was just at the top, but after a while it stopped working, thought it was the line as the led's just used to flash yellow so phoned the ISP and they said it was fine, was working right up to the house, so he explained he was using an extension, and they said to try it at the master socket directly without that as they stop working after a while, so we had to take the whole PC downstairs, and sure enough it came on straight away, so ended up getting an extended RJ11 cable to go from the master straight up instead of using the extension, and its much better as they don't deteriorate, working perfect now.

Have a look for a filtered faceplate then run a RJ11 cable from that, you shouldn't lose any line quality that way.
