Does the length of the connection from the phone jack to your computer affect the upload and download speed of a computer? Mine is currently 20 feet. Any response is appreciated.
No it does not, and I'm assuming your on dial-up. Your connect speed will be the same no matter how much cord you have. When distance attenuation really becomes a problem is in CAT5 cable over 100 ft.
when i had dial-up i had a long cord that went from the far end of one room to the far end of another room and the speed was similar to the computer on a very short cord
What you should do is have the modem close to the phone jack, then run CAT5 cable from the modem to your PC, since you can have up to 100 feet and not have any attenuation problems.
