Signal strength has to be tested (can be done automatically) however does=
 need=20
limited attenuation in the line. I believe the fequencies of the carrier =
wave=20
used by ADSL are higher than probably the original minimum requirements o=
f=20
telephone lines. i.e above 22kHz. So if the cable is "dodgey" then the si=
gnal=20
drops of dramatically and, well, bye bye, connection. Then again it has b=
een=20
a long time since I looked up the theory... carrier waves? is that right?=
=20
Hang on let me check.
