Hi there,
I have a phone line that originates in the main building of a business. There is another building about 1000 feet away where this phone line is used. I've traced it, and after coming in to the main building, the two phone wires are attached to one of the pairs of a 4 pair cable.
It runs through a 4" conduit to the building 1000 feet away and there it is connected to a phone jack.
We want to get internet down at this building. We have been using an RF system but it's very unreliable. It's slow, but that's okay. The problem is that it goes out all the time.
Would it be possible to use the unused pairs to carry an internet connection? Is it too far? It's okay if the speed is degraded, it doesn't need to be fast at all... but it does have to work.
If that is not a possibility, what other options do I have? Assuming I could pull another wire through the same 4" conduit, what is the best option? Is there an option?
Thanks very much!
