Well isn't that frustrating... Welcome to TestMy.net. By the way, you have a beautiful family. Looks like a pictures you get with a new picture frame. So, to your knowledge the wiring that's coming off the side of the house is direct to those outlets? Can you take a picture of the Dmark for us? I feel that if it was just wiring it would be rare for it to affect all the outlets. Think of this, if your Dmark is the actual point where the connection splits off, how would all of the cables be affected equally? One great explanation would be if all of those cables left the Dmark, traveled up into your attic and then off to the respective locations... I've found on many occasions where critters use the cables to sharpen their teeth. They'll strip the cables bare and leave the copper behind. Often these cables will still function at degraded rates. If I was confident that the speed was right at the side of the house... and that it indeed split off right there. I'd pop up in the attic and go right to the area where all of the cables are still together. (this is where they still have something in common that would explain why ALL of them are bad) ... it may be that you have an animal in your attic chewing your cables OR it could be that the cables have been pulled around a beam to the point that they can only pass degraded signal. You don't have to be a communications expert to trace back the cable. Feel it along the way and look for any imperfections. Take pictures of anything that doesn't look perfect, post them here and we'll let you know what we think. Pay special attention to areas where the cable comes in and out of drilled holes and anywhere it comes in contact with anything. Also take note if the cable is near any electrical wiring... if it is and if it's possible move the cables away from any electrical wiring. They radiate energy. Sometimes installers will lazily drop communications lines down the same hole for the electrical outlet. They don't want to pull out their drill and end up making the next guy do twice as much work. Those shouldn't be next to each other and if they are those outlets may need to be redone. So, if it's not a complete pain in the back and you can trace one of the lines back to the wall it drops down into take note if it's a lonely cable or has 'friends'. Again, look for kinking and damage as this is a major point of contact. (but odds are, if all outlets are affected the problem is back further. Where they all share something in common.) Let us know what you find.
