My parents just had an additional phone line added to our home.
When I was using their line I was connecting at 49333 bps.

Now after the phone company (GTE) installed the additional line, the speed
suddenly drops to 26400 bps (in my eyes very unacceptable).
Would anyone know why this happened, the line from the house to the telco is
the same wire, just the other pair are now being used.

I have cat 5 UTP running fromt the  phone box, to my RJ 11 Jack.
