Thin stuff designed to run under a carpet is not advised for inside or
outside use with a dsl modem.

There is however, flat and superflat Cat5/5E cable designed for that
exact purpose.

So that would have modular ends and plug into my phone company NID
and also into the DSL modem, right, and it would work right there?



My storm and inner windows don't fit very tightly, and I coulld shut
them on the the indoor wall-to-phone wire I was using with no
crushing, just a crease, like the crease inside your elbow or knee,
inside the two 90^ bends for each window. .

Would bends like that and running right next to the aluminum windows
frames for about an inch each lower my DSL speed much if I used the
flat CAT5E cable?


I hate to drill holes in the upstairs exterior wall or window frame
when I expect to fix the house wiring eventually.
