This is one for the telecoms engineers out there
My adsl broadband connection can vary between 3.5Mbps and 5.5 Mbps just by me opening up a joint box in the house and squeezing the connector blocks with my thumb & forefinger.
The connector blocks looks to be filled with a jelly compound, and the wires that are jointed do not seem sat in tightly.
Would I get a better speed on the line by me pulling the joints from the jel blocks and twisting & soldering & sleeve them, or shall I just get some more gel blocks from ebay and re-make the connections.
Can soldering joins in telephone cable restrict the DSL signal? It does appear that the jel connectors seem more insulated to look at.
