I am thinking about jump to adsl from o2, I have a BT line that just needs reconnecting and BT will do this for free!

the master socket is on the side of the room with no mains, so I cannot put the modem there.

whats the best way of getting a connection from the master socket to the modem (approx 5m cable need)

XTE-2005 faceplate

Cat5e or good quality twisted pair phone cable to connect it to the modem?

cheers

brill!...

I have a BT line but it's stopped at there end. BT have told me I will get approx 6mb

tried to get BT to connect it (which they will for free) I was then gonna get o2 to test it! if it was crap I was gonna ring BT back and cancel the line! but BT have said if they connect the line then it a 12month contract! no cooling off period..
 
currently with VM 4mb although it's going to 10mb, but the traffic management is pain.

that costs £22 including phone line and unlimited UK calls.

or I can get phone inc unlimited UK calls £15.45 and up to 16mb from o2 for £10... so it would be £3 more, no traffic management and up to 16mb! but if my line is crap I am stuck with a 12month BT contract.
