The internet lead connection to the router has a long, long, extension
is a telephone cable, then yes getting rid of the telephone extension might speed up internet slightly, but unless your extension cable is old and half rotten, just like the guy at Advanced Computers says, I doubt you'll loose out on internet connection speed, but that's just imo.

If your internet is slowish like me, the extension cable won't be a limiting factor at all. I guess this might affect someone running on ADSL2+ at 24MBps

Thanks heni
I just ran a test and currently getting 3.057 upload and 124 download, so pretty happy about that. An upside to living on the North Shore -- though weather not as good a Nelson or Napier :(

Overall, with feedback on this forum combined with excursions onto the web to research the subject, it seems that a long cable is nothing to get too hung up about ( I have a tendency to get paranoid about such things and try to correct when the time and expense could be better used).

Your feedback much appreciated - as it is from the other members ! :)
