[QUOTE="leonmoneill, post: 525797, member: 34925"] Hello, I'm new to this forum but have an issues that i would love your opinion on. So the issue is i'm trying to increase speeds of my wired internet. I have perfect 500Mb per second when plugged in in my sitting room (approx 40 meters away), Yesterday i ran an external eithernet cable outside along the top of the house and back into the house on the other side. I crimped both ends, checked with a cable tester that the wires are Ok and all seems fine. When i plug in my home office i get between 80-90mb but using the same adapters but just with a shorter cable i get 500mb. What am i missing? Surely a 40m cable shouldn't reduce the speeds that much. Any help on this would be appreciated. Setup sky fiber broadband in Ireland Hard wired with 1m cable i get 500mb Hard wired with 40m cable i get 80mb I'm using a macbook pro using fast.com to check the speeds. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
