Double your internet Speed(sic)

18 Mar 2015

I found this on You tube claiming to double the internet speed with a "special cable". He even has some interesting mathematics behind it. Here is the challenge, can you disprove his reasoning?

I'm going to try this out, because my internet is particularly slow today. I'm going to skip the double speed and jump straight into the triple speed solution. I have the IDE cable. Currently looking if…

I haven't bothered looking at the video.
I wonder if it will improve my sons fibre connection ....

This ranks about the same as these emails claiming to enlarge various parts of your body.
Should I report this to the moderator as spam .. Oh too late .... Dudley has already tried it.

On a properly scientific note, the Australians found that swapping the wires on their ADSL connections did improve their speed. (not twice or triple)

The cable pair should be balanced and logic dictates there should be no change in which wire went to what, but they were able to prove it and Silicon Chip made a small device with a couple of LED's to allow a quick check to be performed.

PS If you run across one that makes my 32km wireless link twice or three times then feel free to let me know.
