From that seller yes 2m version, sync 65.

Ouch, I see. I've ordered the 50cm one. I'll post soon with comparison of sync rate and errors.

Be interesting to see your results with the shorter cable.

This one is interesting too. Free delivery!

Yeah, that is the one I use.

With that available, I'm going to order three.

I've also ordered the cable I listed and I will be interested to see how it impacts the error rate on my line.

Well for me the Tandy 0.5m cable seems to work the best. It maxes out my 55Mb profile, whereas the Billion 8800NL (V1) cable, white flat ADSL cable and BT Smart Hub cable, do not.

What are errors like in comparison?

Very interesting my 2m Tandy cable sync was about 72 and Billion R2 79. Looks like this could be highly line dependent.

Have you tried a 0.5m Tandy cable though? You're not really comparing like with like as the flat DSL cables are not 2m?

Cant say I have but I think the Billion is not much shorter, certainly the 7800 flat cable is long enough to keep the router in the same place. The 8800 cable is a bit shorter as I had to move the router closer to the socket. Say 1-1½m.

I don't know then.

Got the Cat5E RJ11 to RJ11 cable today. 0.7m and same sync as the 0.5m Tandy cable (54997, 10000). Obtainable a bit down but likely due to the time of day.

Will monitor the line over the next 24 hours. Hopefully will have the "cable for troublesome connections" tomorrow too.

Think I have come to the end of my experiment. Final cable to be tested was a £1.19 delivered flat cable with RJ11 and RJ45 plugs about 2m in length. Sync was 77m with a few US errors.

So my deliberations have led me to believe that for my particular setup the ZyXEL VMG1312-B10A and Billion 8800NL R2 modem cable are the best suited wrt to max sync.

I am also trying to get hold of a ZyXEL 3925 to test in bridge mode to see if any improvement over the 1312.
