    You might think so, but that’s a common misconception with broadband - the red cables actually help the data flow faster.

      That is because they stop all other data in order to do so.

      Best is to use orange cables, which still allow everyone to send data, but at a greater speed than green.

        Here I was thinking orange was prone to stopping at any time… Does the shade make a difference? I love a good burnt sienna, but if high-vis will be the better option, I don’t want to compromise for the sake of aesthetics.
