ADSL broadband network

RS2007GOD

Hi so i live in an old school which has a whole load of internet sockets in 2 different computer rooms which i think is interfering with the adsl. I dont really know much about this but what ive found out so far is there is a thing called a master socket which then is split to your regular phone sockets which then requires a splitter to split the phoneline/adsl connections again. Aparently moving the Modem/Router to the master socket can remove the need for a 2nd splitter and improve the signal? 

 

Another option is possibly running a whole new phoneline over a second "line" which the electrician has told me is possible only if there is 2 lines to the house. How do these "lines" work? Will i be limited by anyone using the first line?

 

ANY suggestions would be great. Also will be using cat6a cables from phone socket to modem then modem to pc is this fine?

So DSL runs over the same line as Dial Tone, if you have both DSL and dial tone a splitter is needed to separate the phone from the DSL. These can be line splitters or filters in your house in the NID (box outside house) or even in the modem depending on the setup and ISP. One of the issues that can arise on DSL lines is crosstalk between phone lines this all depends on line quality and distance as well as power of the DSLAM and DSL modem. In most cases we run a line from the NID to the modem and do not daisy chain it from another line and use a filter in the NID. However it is possible that the line has been split using something like a punchdown block or daisy chained off the line. If this is the case running a new line from the NID to modem would give you the best results. You can use Cat5, Cat5e or even Cat6 cable to do this using only one pair in the wire.
