    Question Modem syncing problems

    I am attempting to remedy a star wired house as I believe the star wiring is the reason the internet keeps dropping.
    The black 2 pair lead-in cable is joined to 3 tech-wire cables only one of which is required.
    Unfortunately the join in the lead-in and tech-wires is in a cavity of a room that was originally a garage and has been sheeted up and no access to the joint/terminal block which is behind the gyprock.

    I can cut two of the star wired cables away in the ceiling (but not at the joint/terminal block) and then fit a central filter but I shall still have two 5 metre lengths in star wired configuration of tech-wire behind the filter closer to the exchange.

    Question is would I still have the modem syncing problems after cutting the 2 cables no longer needed.??

    The ADSL central filter/splitter MUST be connected on the lead-in cable BEFORE any other cabling or distribution.

    Thanks diavalo13666

    Providing I can get enough cable back from the pit for a loop your idea sounds OK.

    Then I can see a trip into the corner of the roof cavity to drop another cable down.

    Providing the joint/cable termination block is not attached to the wall that should work.

    Thanks Marty
