Exactly - I had been suffering a really low uplink speed on my cablemodem
service for ages (2.5kbytes/sec tops with frequent drop outs). I found out
that it was the cable between my router and the cablemodem that was at
fault
which was annoying (I had "borrowed" it from a previous-previous
employer as
it was a nice long lead) so I replaced the cable and dumped the
"faulty"
cable back in a box for when I could be arsed to do something with it.
I happened to try that cable with the LanScaper yesterday and that turned
out to be a mis-split pair (blue-white and green-white transposed)...
