How far will a DSL signal carry on Cat-5 cable?

300 ft, with a repeater more.

Earthlink 1.5 MBPS DSL is available at your location for $21.95/month for twelve months.\n\nComcast is available at and the price depends on whether or not you are a cable customer.\n\nGo to this website for more information:\n\nhttp://metrot1.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,44/

You need a router like a cisco 7200\n\nAnd switches that accept fiber like the cisco 3550\n\nLoop the 3550's to keep your performance\n\nThe fiber will run from each 3550 that will pass along your LAN information, each 3550 has 48 copper RJ45 ports on them for your cat5 network.\n\nGranted this is a simplistic run down it gives you a baseline to work with.\n\nYou will need precise length for your fiber runs as those cables usually are professionally installed.\n\nGranted this is a simplistic overview, it gives you a run down on what it will look like.

Nothing unless you are using a Crosed Ethernet Cable.

The router manufacturers will tell you they broadcast several hundred feet--but in reality (through walls and floors) don't expect more than 50 feet.  I had my best luck using a USB receiver on a pc (you can extend the usb connection about 20 feet before you lose signal through the cable.  (USB also lets you change computers quickly.)  If you extend your antenna wire (for your PCI card or on your router)--I was assured that you could add up to 100 feet of antenna cable (for a slight loss.)\n\nYou will find that experimentation with your particular system will yield your best results.

Puter's right, you'll still need a router, although not necessarily a wireless one. most routers come with wireless capability plus 4 ports on the back for "hardwiring" devices. i'd go with a wireless router in the event you want to surf on a laptop from your couch or maybe your PDA has wireless capability. you can turn off the wireless signal and use it for wired-only if you like.\n\nall of the wires from the various rooms should converge somewhere in a closet or something. hopefully at that same place there's an incoming phone and/or coax (cable) line. if your builder was smart enough to wire all rooms i'm sure he set you up with a data closet of some sort.\n\nyour setup would be something like this:\n\ncable/dsl signal--> cable/dsl modem--> router--> (each room plugged into the back the router)--> device in each room is plugged into the CAT-5 jack\n\ngood luck!

Hi,\n\nWhen you purchase your cable, grab a Cat5 cable.  Both Cat5 and Cat3 are standard cable types when it comes to ethernet.  Cat5 provides for a higher transmission rate than Cat3.\n\n99% of the time any cable you buy will be a Cat5 cable these days... Yes, ethernet = Cat5...  Hope this helps!

Mine is 3megs down 800k up on DSL.  I've heard of people getting 6 to 9 megs down on Optimum online, but thats cable so its shared.

I originally had cable, which was technically faster (3 meg down) but I switched to DSL.  It's half the speed (1.5 meg down) but i hardly notice the difference...and it's a lot cheaper, too (at least in my area).

Yes, a 56K modem won't work with DSL or Cable.  DSL requires a DSL bridge and Cable requires the Cable box itself.

Try this. I found it on line and it might help solve the problem. http://www.tselectronic.com/gc/video/surge_block.html?tse_Session=a1810461ed6dc5852c42a495bed5dfd8\nI don't think dharden1205 has any idea what he's talking about. there could be a carrier voltage to help with signal transmission, but it should be low enough as not to harm your modem. If you've got it running off a power supply (UPS), then it's already isolated from the direct supply in your home. This shouldn't be happening. Call back your provider and insist they come out and test your cable for transient voltage. You have options to cancel your service and go elsewhere right???

5.5 will be your max.\n\nThe speed depends on how far away from your exchange you live. I live a long way from mine too, I get about 2.5mb on an 8mb bandwidth.\n\nOh well.

In the simplest terms, the speed of your DSL connection will depend on the distance between your home and the point of origin of the phone line. The speed of your cable connection will depend on how many other people are subscribed and using their connection at the same time that you are.\n\nYou can check the speed of DSL connections from the provider(s) in your area at a number of sites; I like DSLreports.com. Their FAQ sections are also very helpful--in particular, I recommend the one on DSL vs. cable and the general DSL one.

DSL should do the trick

That depends on what you mean by network cable.  Your standard Cat 5 & Cat 6 type twisted pair ethernet cable cannot go that far, only about 330 ft before you would need a switch to extend farther.  To do it in one shot 2000 feet long, without sacrificing bandwidth, you would probably want to go with fiber optic.  There are also some decent wireless solutions that can get you around 27 Mbits and can reach up to 10 miles line of sight.

You can't.  DSL uses cables to convey the data and if your area still isn't cable-ready (DSL cables that is), you will have to rely on dial-up in the meantime.
