| 1469775 | 2020-06-22 05:26:00 | Hi, My Mum got a deal with a company for our power bill and internet including fibre. Before, we were with Spark and our connection was using their modem + fibre and RJ11. Today, there was an issue with the telephone, and I only found this out when we were told from that company that our telephone had to have a VOIP. Lucky, we came across someone from Harvey Norman who suggested that all we need was an RJ12 cable. Yes he was correct and this solved the problem. My question is, are RJ12 connections the future now seeing our telephone line in our home (RJ11) will no longer be usable with our fibre package?. Do you think it is wise to install a complete new RJ12 cable and keep the RJ11 set up or remove it out completely? Did not know that RJ12 existed until now. Cheers. |

Secondly, CHECK power costs, the unit price vs your old unit price. It isn't always a good deal, bundling. Or even the fibre cost.... |

| 1469778 | 2020-06-24 21:23:00 | Thanks. I don't need the VOIP anymore; our internet plan is with Vodafone and our power bill is with another power company. | undiejuice (16495) | ||

Why is it that when I bought a brand new RJ11 cable it didn't work, yet with the RJ12 it did? Do you think this has to do with the number of wires and can I get away by using an cat5e ethernet cable ? Cheers |

| 1469780 | 2020-06-24 22:29:00 | Not all cables have all of the wires and sometimes not even all of the pinn, and different things use different pins. Phone usually works though, pretty sure it's just the middle two. | dugimodo (138) | ||

CheersHave a read of the following it describes what the differences are RJ 11 and RJ 12 (www.differencebetween.net ,is%20a%206P6C%20wiring%20standard.&text=RJ11%20is%20a%206P4C%20wiring,slots%20are%20n o%20longer%20used.) |

Forget your link Wainui? this one is fairly good. Good information. The key phone systems Tha I worked on in the early 90s used RJ45 format jack but wired in telephony for a not data. Modern keyphones systems from the late 90s used two wire Jacks center pin of RJ11 or RJ45. |
