Trying to hookup our new DSL, I dissected our phone jack to see if I could get a better connection.

See now is the time when you commit arson and insurance fraud.

Just the general mess of around 18 inches of wire, most of it doing nothing.

Looks like it’s up to code to me. From 1964.

It is a roughly 40 year old apartment building. I’d be more surprised if it hadn’t been painted a half dozen times.

Do you have a phone number with the dsl? If so, find which side is feeding it. Then disconnect the rest and just hook the feed to the jack

“most of it doing nothing.”
Sounds like a potential opportunity!

Still in Salt Lake, same apartment. I’m just finally too sick of Comcast, and they’re the only cable Internet provider.

That’s what I was thinking of doing. But that means I really have to sort through this mess.

Reminds me of an apartment I had years ago. I couldn’t figure out why the phone wouldn’t get a dial tone. There was one at the junction box outside the house, but not in the apartment. Tracing the phone line through the apartment, down the side of a 3-story building and into the basement found the problem. There was a 6’ gap in the line in the basement, with the ends just handing down.
I rewired the place from the junction box out, but joked that apparently I was yelling loud enough into the phone to be heard across the gap.
