Do not connect your router/modem to an extension socket on the phone

Thats bull****. There is FAR more copper lead between the master
socket
and the exchange or node than there is to any extension socket.

True. But arguably it it isn't in such an electrically noisy
environment.

Its actually in a more electrically noisy environment outside
the house with the traffic ignition noise etc. And it isnt
electrical noise that determines the broadband speed anyway.


actually it largely is...all te other broadband users on the same cable
run will produce more noise than the radio stations do in total

But the cable is twisted pairs and its not radio stations,
it the ignitions in the traffic thats much worse than
any electrical noise inside the house.

And the speed you get with broadband isnt determined
by the noise level anyway, its determined by the length
of the run of copper pairs in the street cable.
