Title: Speed issue...maybe my fault but worth reading
Review: I was using a D-Link DIR-655 router with a 6' CAT 5 cable. My connection speed is around 40mbs download, 4mbs upload (Roadrunner Lightning service).I wanted to move my router a few feet so I ordered this 10' cable. It's amazingly inexpensive and Linksys and Cisco are great names.Problem? This cable cuts my speed in HALF for downloads (20mbs) and totally ruins upload speed (0.4mps...less than 10% the speed with the other cable).It's not because it's 4' longer because I have a 50' CAT 5 delivering full speed to other parts of the house.This new cable is thinner than the 6' I tried to replace. Maybe that one is shielded and that's what's causing the problem? Maybe I just got a bad cable? If anyone has advice I'd like to hear it. It's not worth returning for a $2 refund, but this cable is unusable for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
