The criticism won't be important if you want quality..........2007-05-22

Most of the reviews here are dinging this cable because there are other flaws in the phoneline that will probably keep this cable from making a difference. These reviews have a great point, however there is something else that will make a cable like this worth buying. Most phone cable is very poorly constructed and will break at the connector or where the cable meets the connector. Additionally many phone cables aren't even fully wired these days. This cable is more durable than cheap cables, by a longshot. I hate trouble shooting because of a bad cable and for me it's worth a few bucks to avoid such trouble.

Good for frequent travel.......2000-08-08

Although this is a pricey cable, its construction and materials are of very high quality. The cable jacket is thick, flexible rubber and there are rubber anti-snag strain-relief boots. This is a good item to travel with since it's very supple and won't kink, in addition to being tough and able to stand the abuse of frequent travel.

This is a joke, right?.......1999-12-18

You've simply got to be kidding me. Monster Cable for a telephone line? This is, quite simply, one of the more ridiculous products to come down the pike. Monster used to be a reliable brand name, and I use thier interconnects for my home theater system, but it seems like they'll put their name on any crap these days.

Caveat Emptor - you do NOT need this product.

An absurd extension of the expensive-stereo-cable phenomenon.......1999-12-18

Monster Cable is best known for its high-end stereo and video cables, with equally high-end prices. There are those who say that these expensive cables can make all the difference to a high-end audio/video system; there are others who say that they make no difference whatsoever.

But when it comes to telephone cable, there is simply no room for that sort of debate. Spending $20 for a ten-foot length of telephone cable is simply ludicrous, and Monster Cable loses a great deal of credibility in my eyes for even offering the product.

The telephone signal going to your modem has in all likelihood travelled down thousands of feet of cables, and a maze of telephone company switching equipment, before it reaches that jack in your wall. That journey has caused signal loss and distortion. Unless your current modem cable is physically damaged in some way, there is simply no way that those ten feet of modem cable will make a significant difference.

And if you're still inclined to disagree, consider this: What about the cable running through your house's walls, connecting the phone company's junction box to your wall jack? It's almost certainly not made out of any special high-tech materials; it's probably whatever brand the contractor could find on sale when he or she wired your house. And it's almost certainly much longer than your modem cable, meaning that its capability to cause distortion and signal loss is much greater. If you're not going to rip that cable out of your wall--and you wouldn't, because that would be foolish and silly--then why on Earth would you spend so much money on the last ten feet of cable that happens to stick outside the wall?

If the quality of your phone connections is bad, then you may need a better modem; or you may need to call the phone company in to inspect the lines and make any needed repairs. But replacing a working modem cable with a SuperCable simply isn't going to make a difference.

If you do need a new phone cable, then go down to your local Target or similar store, and buy a basic cable there; use the money you'll save for high-end stereo cables if you feel so inclined, since there's at least a chance that money spent there will actually have an impact.

This is madness!.......1999-12-18

While it's true that the noise level of a phone line can adversely affect the data rate you get over a modem, here are a few things to bear in mind:

1) The low-quality part of the line is probably not in your house! It's somewhere between you and your CO (outside).

2) You won't get garbled text or munged data from line noise on your phone line. The modem is error-correcting, and the data will be retransmitted. Line noise will cost you speed, not quality (as the manufacturer's review suggests).

3) A reiteration of point (1): a line is only as good as its weakest link. Putting gold contacts on the clean part of the line won't help.

Don't waste your money!!!!.......2001-02-04

I know this cable is only $9.95,but it is only worth .99cents.This cable will do absolutely "Nothing" for your internet speed or connection. Yes,it will work OK,but the price is totally absurd.Just use the least expensive phone line cable you can find in your local retail store,which I am using right now and your internet connection will work just as good.

Good product if used right........2000-01-27

This is a nice cable, but it won't increase your net speed to much, because the fact is, the phone jacks you plug this into in your house just connect to standard phone lines anyway, if you want to get some good use out of this product you would have to re-wire your whole house with this cable instead of normal phone line. The reason is, once you leave your house, there are heavy duty phone cable outside on the telephone polls, wire these to that and you'll get like 20kbps on your 56k modem (which supposed to get only 7kbps)

Monster Cable does it again by making a product better. This cable increased my DSL speed so much, that I felt like I did when I first got DSL. Your ping time decreases (good thing), and the transfer effiency increases. I wish I would have known about this a long time ago... Then I wouldn't have gotten beat up on Quake 3 so much. But now I have the lowest ping, and I frag people before they even see me coming. Thanks Monster Cable.

Not worth the extra cost.......2003-08-22

I was hoping that these cables would help me keep at least a 28.8k conection but it does not and I still get bumped off the net. I would have to say from my experance and what I have read that your connection speed depends a lot on how good the phone co. wires are and how far you are from the phone co.

Better quality but not necessary. Nice colors though.......2002-01-12

This particular cable is better than the standard stuff, in the sense that if you've got a long distance you need to pull the line then you will not suffer as much signal attenuation (loss) as with the regular lines you'd probably get with your analong modem or dsl modem. However, the quality of line to your house from your isp's switch center is also very important and will limit the speed in which you realistically connect at. With that in mind, if you're pulling line long distances you should probably consider these cables otherwise if it's something along the lines of 5 or 10 feet, it's not much of an issue unless you like the colors like I do hence the 3 stars.

This thing stinks.......1999-12-17

Too bad this product does nothing for you considering that it is usually the phone system in your commuinity that will determine what your connection rate will be. This little device will do you no good what so ever once it hits the phone line INSIDE your house in the walls. Want more info go to your ISP.

NO LAG CORD.......1999-12-16

This phone cable is the best for the net! If you play online games like i do....then this will eliminate a lot of lag....im saying...JUST BUY IT!

This product is a gimmick........2005-03-01

Hahaha, is the signal supposed to improve just because you buy a 10' gimmick? The phone signal travels through hundreds of feet of cheap two-strand unshielded bell wire and through thousands of feet of plain ol' copper wire before it ever reaches your M-M-M-MONSTER C-C-C-CABLE. What, is that last 10' the only part of the wire that is suseptible to deep space pulsar interference and radioactive laser noise?

Is this a joke?.......2003-12-09

To be honest, I have not purchased this cable. However, as a professional in the IT world with over 10 years of experience, I can state that Monster is simply selling snake oil here. This is an overpriced product that will not significantly help your phone connection. If you need something for business trips, but a Targus retractable cable. If you need something for the home, just go to your corner store and buy some cheap cabling.

A solution to a tangled problem.......2003-07-07

I have three of these cables in five, ten, and 25-foot lengths. They are great for travelling because they don't tangle the way standard phone cords do. The connectors at the ends have rubber hoods to make them easy to grab and to prevent the little plastic tabs from breaking off. The nice smooth jacket prevents snags.

I purchased each length in a different color so that I can tell how long each one is without uncoiling it.

Don't buy this to make your internet connection faster, though. It is unlikely to do that for you given that the length (when compared to your entire telephone line in the wall out to the junction box) is short. It *is* great for making sure that last little bit of length is high quality, though.

Improved internet and telephone reception.......2002-10-20

We have the 25 foot cable for our internet connection and the ten foot cable on our phone. Big improvement over the standard phone cord. No static on the phone, better resolution on the monitor.

SO AWESOME!.......2001-12-14

I am extremely happy with this phone cable. I'm smiling see > :)
Anyway, I needed to run my phone line across the living room for my "new office". Anyway it got run over by my chair too many times and I would get disconnected like every 20 minutes. This cable has solved that problem. I used to be connected at 14,000 bps before I ran my old cable over and now I connect at 19,200 bps. So that's like an extra 18,000,000 b an hour. Every little bit helps if your stuck with dial-up so you might as well make the most of it and get one of these things.
