Hello, There's a lot of noise on my dsl line. I was wondering if the type of phone wires used, and the condition they are in is affecting my internet. I've attached a photo of one of the jacks inside my apartment. The port on the right is for the telephone socket. I'm also curious to know if it's a twisted pair setup or the older quad wires. Looking forward to receiving your input.

Hello, My dsl connection has been very unstable lately. I replaced my ISP's old Technicolor modem with a D-link DSL-2790U today. Frankly, I didn't notice much difference, if any, in the quality of the connection. I assume my copper wires are badly decayed. Below are the stats picked up from my router. I'm not an expert myself, so I would appreciate it if someone could explain the state of my connection. Thanks in advance.

I'll switch to MSI then, thanks.

how about the Seasonic M12II 620?

I ran a new speedtest this morning. I found out my line was "FUP'ed" (Fair Usage Policy) and throttled. My connection seems to have gotten back to normal after midnight - must be when they reset my line or something. Anyway, I really appreciate all your input guys. Thanks everyone.

I live in a building and practically every one has a wifi router around. So I'm gonna try the wifi analyzer app to see if I can pinpoint the issue to the router.

Here are the results from speedtest.net:

Hello. I supposedly have a 4mbit ADSL connection. However, my whole internet experience has recently become dreadful and I can't play online either. The modem is a wireless generic/Thomson router. I've attached a screen capture of ping requests sent to Google. I've also copied some information from the modem's control panel - I don't understand what the figures mean though.

Do they reflect an apparent problem perhaps? Should I contact my ISP? I'd like to know what you guys think.

~$90 on newegg - pricier than the ~$76 SeaSonic unit.

I couldn't find a modular PSU from EVGA at that price point. I can't be bothered with rebates, I'm not in the US. I see where you're going with that though, I can't justify it - I'm not overclocking. I've heard those don't come highly recommended.

Anyway, I'm open to your suggestions.

I wonder if we'll ever reach a point where a gaming computer can be downsized to a NUC.

With that much power, streaming, video editing and rendering ought to flow effortlessly. Over where I live, that processor is priced well over $450. *sigh*
