Hello, I have been doing some research and I cant seem to find the proper information to suggest I can or can't do this. However, I found a eHow article suggesting using the extra wires helps signal. So, can we debate this please? Are there ways I can test it out myself to see for sure? I have the time and plenty of length of cable haha. Below is the article that clearly states to "DOUBLE UP" on the wires if you have them.

Ok, here is the setup. The C1000A has its very own dedicated Cat6 cabling. Nothing else is serviced on that cat6 line. This cable also has the inside plastic partition thingy in case it matters. Currently, I am using the Green wire going to the green connection on an old Surface Mount RJ11 phone jack (btw, I need a better jack because the wires inside this one are super thin, any ideas?). The accompanying Green/white is going to the red of course.
So, can I use the green+green/white as one single wire twisted together and installed onto the green connection? And same with the Orange+Orange/white going to the Red connection? To help transfer signal? Will I lose the self shielding effect if I do this?
Also, where can I get a really good Surface Mount RJ11 Jack to use just for the modem connection? I already have a 100mhz shielded Belkin RJ11 cable, but I do not want a ANY weak link and this 35 year old jack looks like serious utter crap, lol.
Thanks for any help...
