I have an internet connection through lan, my service provider, has installed a switch on my building which is linked with a cat5 cable. But I am not able to get a connection at my place, the cable provider, informed me that it is due length of a cat5 cable which is about 120 feet long. I had a hub lying so connected the input line to my hub, and the connection is working, but i have heard there is a huge speed diff, between a hub and a switch. And also i dont believe my provider, any way in which i can make a switch work for my connection? Also does distance matter in a switch
