I got myself a Starlink dish. Sadly, it comes with giant plugs on the cable, and I have to put it through my wall. In order to avoid drilling an enormous hole, I followed dubious Internet advice and used RJ45 stuff to splice the cable.
I got fine download speeds after that, but I got errors, and I got very bad upload speeds. Like 0.4 Mbps. Before that, Ookla was giving me 1.5-35.
I did not use a shielded plug or jack. Just stuff from Home Depot. I did not reconnect the drain wire or put any kind of connection between the shielding on either side of the cut.
Is it likely my problems are caused by the 1.5" of lack of shielding, the discontinuity of the shielding, or the discontinuity of the drain wire? I am willing to get whatever plugs, jacks, and tools I need. I am not willing to put a huge hole in my house.
