i faced the same problem wid my previous line..line chere debar pore amake amar cable dekhano hoyecilo..(as i had a good relation wid them)
anywaz..hope i made my point clear

ahh... I got that ....

hmm usually better networks try to push single hub/switch connection bwten client and server. Besides , using hub sometiems creating problem as its not as much intelligent device as switch. sometime tries to broadcast /distribute the whole b/w equally to each node .... not try to understand the request type. and then another factor of collision domain on/off. so I would go for switch. My ISP use all switches , no hub.

and about leakage of wire....its totally horrible. You cant use line for 1 sec if you have corrupted LAN. Packet drop is something worse. Its actually creates serious collision in whole network , hang the gateway server. so direct or indriect connection , leakage in wire is something most problematic..... any leakage in wire makes the line worst .......

and talking about wire quality .... old dayz have gone. No isp [at least so far I know ] is dare to enlarge their network with cheap telephone cable...their first choice is UTPs liek cat5 or cat6.
