    All advice welcome ;)

    I'm moving my pc/broadband connection from a home office to a downstairs room. I previously has an ISDN line running from the eircom box under the floor to the point I plan to locate to. This 'isdn' cable appears to be wired into the eircom box and I'm wondering if I can utilise this cable for the broadband connection of whether I need to run a new cable under the floor?

    Any advice??

    Thanks:rolleyes:

    most likely yes you can recycle this cable but you need to choose the right cable pair in this wire to use a normal phone extension from your phone line.

    A few questions to clarify: you have ADSL? No ISDN now? When you did have ISDN, did the present, upstairs position of the broadband have a live phone extension (reason I ask is because there was a function on ISDN NTUs where you could back-feed analogue phone service to all your old extensions.)
