Upgrading to Cat 6 Cabling: Solving NBN Dropouts and Slow Speeds
When it comes to reliable internet, outdated infrastructure can be a hidden bottleneck. Recently, Michael from Jim’s Antennas Ingle Farm was called in to assist a customer dealing with frustrating issues on their Fibre to the Node (FTTN) NBN service.
The Problem
The customer was experiencing frequent dropouts and slower-than-expected internet speeds, leaving them unable to fully enjoy their connection. After consulting with their internet service provider, the advice was clear: upgrade the internal cabling from the building entry point to the modem.
The original wiring, designed for standard telephone services, simply couldn’t handle the demands of modern VDSL NBN services.
The Solution
Michael got to work replacing the outdated wiring with new Cat 6 Data cable. This high-performance cabling is specifically designed to handle the increased speeds and data loads of today’s internet services.
The Result
The upgrade made an immediate and significant difference. The customer’s internet speed doubled, performing at the level they were promised—and paying for. Dropouts became a thing of the past, and the connection was finally reliable and consistent.
