Roughly how much to move BT master socket?

[alx]

Currently our house has the BT master socket in the master bedroom upstairs, which as you can imagine isn't ideal seeing as our router is in the downstairs study.

When we first got the internet (56k days), we got a seperate line/number so we could use the internet at the same time as the phone. As the telegraph pole was on the edge of our garden, BT just installed another line from the pole to the side of the house and into the study where a new socket was installed. When broadband came along we then merged the new line with the old one, so this new socket in the study basically became a slave socket (however one that was directly connected to the nearest telegrpah pole).

How hard/expensive would it be to move the master socket from upstairs in the bedroom to the currently bog standard socket in the study where our router now lives? I'm guessing we'd need to get BT in to do it?

Thanks for the replies

Could you run a Cat cable from router to study?

I could technically but it would be a bit of a pain

BT will quote approx £180, I had it done by an independant ex BT engineer for £30

dont pay BT get some independant to do it

Cheers for the suggestion, could be a plan

Sorry, maybe a stupid question, but why can't you hook the router into the "slave" socket in the study? I wasn't aware of routers caring which socket they are plugged into as long as they have a microfilter on all used sockets?

I currently do have the router attached to this 'slave' socket, however I just wanted to see if it would be feasible to move the master socket as it normally gives the best speeds.

Will also double check the 'slave' socket in the study to see if it's actually a master socket.
