Moving BT Master Phone Socket
Hi Ya
What I want to do is move my BT Master Phone Socket from downstairs in my landing to my study where my computer is. The reason that I am wanting to do this is because in my study I already have a phone extension which I connect my router to, but we recently had a new porch put in but they have mange to bury the wires for my extension and in the process damage them, this has lead to the 8meg line to go down to 15kbs
, I have had a BT engineer out to look at it and he say the fault is because of the extension causing the line to be ground and causing interferences because when you use the test socket every thing works fine, and has quoted me £150 to fix it though after chatting to him he say it is a easy job to move the BT socket although not completely kosher. I have looked all over the internet for help and have made my best guess, just need a little help before attempting this. I have bought a new master socket and have enough wire for the procedure.
What I need to know is
in the picture above it a socket thing we had because of an extension, the wire coming from the left with the yellow ring round it and black end is the phone line from out side, what I am wanting to know is that do I need to just connect the white wire to connection point A on the new master socket and the orange wire to connection point B on the new master socket and then put the face plate on and do not need to worries about any other wire e.g. extension as I am just want one phone socket in house
Thanks so much for your help
