Boost Your NBN Speed: Upgrade Outdated Cabling with Jim’s Antennas

Are you frustrated with sluggish internet behavior, despite having an NBN plan that promises lightning-fast speeds? It’s a common dilemma, often leading homeowners to point fingers at their ISP or NBN Co. infrastructure. However, the culprit might be closer to home than you think.


Picture this: a household with decades-old ivory cat3 cables snaking through its walls, remnants of a bygone era when landlines ruled supreme. These cables, once sufficient for voice transmission, now struggle to keep up with modern internet demands. Enter Jim’s Antennas, the seasoned experts in resolving connectivity woes.


Shaun from Jim’s Antennas Hallett Cove recently encountered such a scenario when called upon to investigate a home’s internet troubles. Upon surveying the roof space, Shaun unearthed a maze of antiquated wiring, with multiple cat3 cables spliced together haphazardly. This tangled web was the legacy of forty years of phone outlet additions and alterations.



But fear not, for Jim’s Antennas came prepared with a solution. Shaun swiftly replaced the outdated cat3 cables with high-performance cat6 counterparts, specially designed to handle the rigors of modern internet usage. The transformation was remarkable: the once-sluggish connection now roared to life, delivering the customer’s full NBN plan speed without a hint of dropout.

Trust the experts at Jim’s Antennas to revitalise your connection and unlock the full potential of your NBN plan.


This tale of triumph over internet adversity highlights a crucial point: when it comes to NBN performance, don’t overlook the importance of in-house cabling. Unlike the infrastructure in the street, which falls under the purview of NBN Co., the cabling within your residence is your responsibility.


Many homeowners are unaware that their aging phone outlets and cables could be the bottleneck in their internet setup. The old ivory cat3 cables, while adequate for voice transmission, falter when tasked with high-speed data delivery. Moreover, the antiquated splicing methods used to connect multiple outlets exacerbate the problem, resulting in dropped data packets and diminished performance.


Fortunately, Jim’s Antennas offers a straightforward solution: the installation of new category 6 cable, capable of handling gigabit speeds with ease. By upgrading your in-house cabling, you not only optimise your current internet experience but also future-proof your home for upcoming technologies.
