what is the proper setup for this?

i currently have aphone line that *seems* to be coming from a Maxis box from my phone riser. i have not terminated that cable at my room yet. i do not have a phone line that i can see.

do maxis and tmnet both have to come over, since i don't really have any line yet?

hi all, would like some help here

i pulled a new cat5 cable from the riser to my house currently it's set up as the phone line is directly copper to copper (stripped phone line mated with stripped green/stripedgreen cable on the cat5). i can get max speeds when testing with maxis speedtest.

however, when i connect the cable to a termination point (AMP Cat3 keystone), the speed drops to 6MB maximum.

Is there anything i can do to fix this besides leaving it copper to copper direct?
