A quick tip about phone wiring & internet connections
If you are thinking about using a long telephone extension for internet access (dial-up or broadband) you may find the minuscule cable size used in the ready made cheapo cables will slow things down. If you are already on the end of a long run from your telephone exchange, an extension cable may even prevent broadband/ADSL from working at all - I know because I've seen it happen.
To make sure you get the best possible speed & quality out of your internet connection it's a good move to install a properly wired phone outlet where you intend to plug in your dial-up or ADSL modem/router. The correct cable is available at all brico stores, as are sockets to fit standard wiring boxes.
Alternatively, you might want to get in touch with Badger Électricité - we can sort out all the cabling for your 'phones, TV/satellite & network needs.
