Hey folks, I am going to be moving rooms shortly, this is how it is setup now;

For some reason the master phone socket is in my room, it used to be downstairs, but I don't know why, maybe SKY made my room the master socket when they installed 2 years ago?

1) I am getting SKY HD fitted to new room, engineer will no doubt fit a phone socket in there, shall I ask him to make it the 'master'?

I have a ADSL faceplate on my current master socket, does the ADSL router REALLY need to connect to a master socket? Or does it not make any difference these days?

Or am I gonna have to take out the faceplate and move it to the new room?

Thanks in advance :)
 
Would it be overkill for me to buy another faceplate to have in the room im moving in to? That way, I could just give it to the SKY engineer (although he'll prob not fit it lol).

Right now its great, as we don't use filters on any line, as the socket in my room is making it all filtered without external filters.

The real master was downstairs right next to the box outside (but inside obviously) but im sure when BT came years ago, they said to me the one in my room was the master...

I have a feeling it's just because mine is wired directly from the master box as well, as my current room is right above the outside phone socket box.
