Cable Requirements for AT&T High Speed Internet upgrade

As an Amateur Radio operator I need my in-house wiring for a future upgrade from DSL to AT&T High Speed Internet installed with shielded CAT6e cables. I will self-install the in-house wiring.
I was informed that my current DSL installation would be inadequate to conform to the requirements of the upgrade and I needed an additional line.

How many (or parallel) CAT5e/CAT6e cables are required for an AT&T High Speed Internet installation? Would that also apply to the AT&T provided outer line installation?

 

Thanks for enlighten me.

Hello @pickyham

When they say your current set up is inadequate, what part are they talking about? Are we talking from the Network interface to the Jack where the modem is/will be located? Or are they referring to something else?

Also, when you talk about upgrading, are you talking about our internet up to 100Mbps, or our Gigapower service?
