Query on extending a phone line / attenuation
Query on extending a phone line / attenuation
(OP)
Perhaps in the wrong area, but thought I'd keep you guys on your toes :)
Currently have a phoneline / broadband package for the home office, but need to move out to a new premises on the same tract of land just under 300 metres away. Is it possible to run a length of cable from the old premises to the new one to feed phone and broadband into the new place, or will attentuation on a line of that length render it useless? If the latter is the case, is there commercially available signal boosters for just such a purpose? It will probably be a temp measure anyway, but the sooner we can get it out the better! Any feedback welcome, happy Easter!

RE: Query on extending a phone line / attenuation
In any case I believe it would be a component of how far the line is already extended. I have DSL, and I know I am abut 100 meters from the last piece of equipment, so extending that line farther would probably be OK.
If you were somehow at the ragged end of the line, extending it would be bad.
The telephone company can probably either test it after you drop the extra 300m (wow) of cable, or tell you a yes/no on that?
