Replacing Sky Phone Socket

If you’re going to do this, why not strip it back to the junction box where it comes in, eliminate the secondary junction box and consider if a more direct route to your chosen location exists.
 
The look like they'd work, but you will be using them right at their minimum wire size limit. They appear to be intended for use the mains wiring.

Not what BT use so forget about them not noticing the DIY efforts should they ever need to visit and see them.
 
Ok.. good and bad lol..

Good news is I have the new wiring nice and neat inside the wall and running along celing of kitchen, and internet seems to be working fine :)

Bad news.. the crimps were too large for the telephone wire lol... :(

I only got these ones as I couldn't see local stores having jelly crimps, guess I will just order some online so they fit perfect.
 
Thanks ill pick one up today, jelly crimps are coming Sat or Mon anyway...

Had a scare last night, nothing would work and Sky checker said problem outside house so I assumed I had blown something :(

Turned out it was just cause the cables are too thin I wasn't getting a proper connection with the crimps I bought.
 
Sorry I never replied to this post..

I got the jelly crimps and used them, connection made perfectly.

Now the cable is submerged behind the plasterboard and running a lot neater to my kitchen (junction box).

Thanks for all the advise and help given in this topic... good stuff to know now :)
