I have not done this. but i can say the cat5 that is between my cable-modem and router is only 12 inches long and its a Cat6e. im not likely to see any change from anything like that, there really is next to no chance of crosstalk on that cable at all. i think that may show you more benefit than anything, cutting out excess cable from runs that do not need 50ft for a 6 ft run ect.

Countless scientific studies in the medical community have proven that, in many cases, the placebos are as or more effective than the prescribed medication. I believe you are a primary candidate for placebo trials Michael!

remember a few weeks ago when someone post a link some young guy made  on speeding up a person's internet by putting a strand of cat5 next to your existing cat 5? Everyone said that was stupid but I did it anyways. Well, my download speeds seem to have increased. Prior to my experiment I used to stay around 145 while maxing at 159. Now I am usually at 175 and it goes down to 159. Maybe I'm just paying closer attention but if someone has some spare cat 5 test it and tell me I'm right or just being stupid:)
