The internet at home is quite slow and always has been
My router is connected to 1 bedroom telephone socket. This socket is fed from another bedroom socket and the 2nd bedroom socket comes from the master socket in the lounge.
Typically this current bedroom socket sees us broadband speeds of 2-2.5mb
When I connected to the Test Socket the speed was 4.5mb, with the faceplate back on and the router connected to the Master Socket. It was 3mb.
This indicates theres a fault in the wiring somewhere and I was wondering what would be the best way to get into replacing the cables myself?
The 2 bedrooms have laminate flooring and I'm assuming this would mean lifting up the flooring and then getting under the floor boards to replace?
From the Master Socket in the lounge, the wire goes under the floor into a cupboard and then up the wall in the cupboard into Bedroom 1's cupboard and from there I believe its under the floor to Bedroom 1's Socket. Then a cable goes from Bedrooms 1's Socket through the wall and under the flooring into Bedrooms 2's Socket where the Router is situated.
We need the telephone sockets in these rooms due to Sky Tv sending us letters about connecting the box's to a telephone line and threat of upping our bill too.
I'm new to replacing the cable but would like to give this a go and was hoping that I could get some good information from you guys.
