The question is, would there be a down-side to taking the cable into an
easy ground floor location, seeing whether it works OK and, if not,
extending myself to the first floor?

I'm assuming (from what I can glean online) that distribution is via
co-ax. I have a drum of RG6 already - Is that OK or should I source
something different if I have to do this? Clearly, this presents some
issues as it's not the most flexible stuff going.


The guys that cabled from the pavement into our house about 14 years
ago (256kbs) were quite happy to let me have a length of their white
coax with nicely crimped F connectors to extend under the floor and
move the router.
Biscuits must be chocolate.

But Danish pastries and jam doughnuts are acceptable.
