To prove a point ….plug in the cat 5 cable and plug in your laptop at the other end …can you get an internet connection ? If not then it’s a cable fault …..how did you test the cable ?

I'll drag the laptop down there tomorrow and test the theory "Good Idea" for now, it's like a monsoon outside...

I plugged the lap top in and loaded the Internet, it does work, but is painfully slow....

Then, I believe we're back to some poor connections.

There is some redundancy within the cable that would still allow limited connectivity - that's what the laptop seems to be demonstrating.

Did you test the cable with the tester prior to, or since installation?
