    Yeah they gave me 3 or 4 cables with my modem but only about 1m long each. Needs to be 20m as thats how far my brothers computer is away from the modem. We use wirelss but signal is not that great from where he is. And it has to go through some walls also.

    Thanks for the help will be putting in a order tonight. Well its a better price then what PC World wanted for there 15m cable €44 euros!

    Thats an awful price in PC World!:eek: 20M of CAT5 is €10 for marx-computers.com, if you knew someone in Dublin that would pick it up for you, shipping might be cheaper also.

    SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!

    €44? FFs, I pay €20(ex VAT) for a whole box (as in a big FO spool). Don't buy things from PC world unless you have to.
