Argos might have something for all you 56k'ers :)

Argos High Speed 56k Internet Cable

I found this while pissing around with the Argos book, and thought it could be of some use, if you dont want to spend £300 a year odd on broadband, then this 'could' be worth the tenner, IF if works, coz i no that standard telephone cables are pants for transfer coz i used to get 3kb/sec outa mine, and those extensions can make them worse, but if your comp is within 4.5 meters of the telephone point you use, then this could speed up ur downloads with no long term charge..if it works, good job someone looks after you all isn't it

NB: If you do want one, Page 713 Item #11

Ok, first of all, this could make a bit of a difference, i get about 4.8k max download speed. I think i could get about 5.5k, but the line is set by bt to a certain gain. Prob not much over 6k, if it si updated, which they r not likely to do for you, it is not covered, so if it fucks up, you r screwed. But this sounds handy, mite pop along to argos 2moro, and get it
I investigated the whole fone line thing though, they tested my line, and said it was fine. But if you get shit speeds contact them and get them to test ya line. It is free and it could speed yr line up a bit, oh and dont use 10m extension leeds, they mess it up even more, unless you get a booster

yeah i extensions are pants, 2 things:

1. dont buy this and then think u can shove it in an extension, coz that wont work, remember the saying "your pc is as fast as the slowest component" well if the data comes flying down this cord, its gona have to slow down thro the extension, so be a waste of time lol!

2. If it is crap, then with Argos u have their 16 day money back garuntee, so if its crap, take it back saying its crap and nothing lost

To be honest I dont think this will make any difference to connection speeds, as standard extension cable is the same quality as the cable BT use, so I wouldnt bother...
Its Argos, so if its pooh return it
