 Degrading Signal, I think
I ran some cat5e network cable not too long ago that seems to have a highly degrading signal. Unfortunateley I cannot afford to get a really good network tester to see why the signal is degrading, but I was hoping I could get some suggestions. When transfering files to the computer itself the transfers are pretty bad something like 30k/s. I have followed all of the standandards that I have found in order to prevent this and I have run the cable twice. If you have any suggestions on how to figure out what is wrong I would be grateful. Thank you!
