Hello,
So strange story here, I currently have two lines into my property (connected to a load balancing router), and 300 meters in direct line of sight is a family member who is on a different exchange and unable to get fibre at their address. We are currently taking in their internet connection and it is sent over a Point to Point Wifi link, speed isn’t too bad, get around 30/35 over there but not amazing. The connection can be flaky sometimes but they are wanting to consider sending over the broadband via a wire across the field. (We would be digging and running the wire underground).
I am aware that ethernet is going to be out of the question as we will be looking at 350 meters as an overestimate for ethernet. They are considering adding this to their phone line and extending this over the phone line (as they want their landline over there as well). We are already about 0.6 miles from the cabinet and I feel like this addition will just kill the connection to next to nothing. Does anyone have any experience with this very obscure request?
This is the current line stats,
Data rate:
5.00 Mbps / 40.00 Mbps
Maximum data rate:
6420 / 48752
Noise margin:
8.9 dB / 9.7 dB
Line attenuation:
23.3 dB / 37.4 dB
Signal attenuation:
23.3 dB / 37.4 dB
VLAN id:
101
Modulation:
G_993_2_ANNEX_B
This is their idea, having a previous life in tech, I think this is out of the question and my initial plan is to keep the wireless link over to their house, and then organising a call divert to their mobile to keep the landline number on the incoming. (Decent 2G at the house but poor 4G). Or at worst, run the phone line as an extension for calls only.
