I suspect I am going to regret asking this question.

I have read the varous comments about the importance of using 'twisted
pai' cable. I have the following set-up. I fitted a splitter
frontplate to the master socket. I then ran an 8 core cable to an
extension in my study/bedroom which has a split telephone/computer
outlet. Two of the cores are for broadband and three for telephone. I
tried disconnecting the earth wire but the phone stopped ringing. I
then plugged the router into that extension socket. Am I making a
mistake?

I have no idea..does it work?

Over a short run twisted pair vis a vis ordinary wire wont make much
difference. Running a bell wire might tho. Easiest to use a master
faceplate on the extension and NOT run the bell wire.




Thanks
