Hi,
I moved into my property around a year ago now, when I first moved in I was renovating as the whole house had been neglected. So at the time the master socket or what I remember of it, was damaged and I had phone wires stapled all over the house, up the stairs and all sorts. The master socket was actually run from a small junction box, with cabling under the floor.
At the time I had no need for phone or broadband so along with most of the other cables and pipes in the house, it all got stripped out and chucked.
Now I am actively using phone and broadband for past 9 months or so, I have setup a patch panel under the stairs, extended the original phone cable going into the house with cat5 to run under the stairs and into a master telephone module which isn't BT but its a master with capacitor\resistor etc. I have run one other socket off of this master telephone module.
Few days ago I have phoned up sky as my broadband suddenly had a spate of disconnections one day and my broadband speed suddenly dropped - it had been working fine, once in a blue moon it disconnected. Unfortunately for me they have booked an engineer to visit. In the mean time I have bargained myself a sky hub replacing my four year old sky router which plugging in today has increased my speed from 3-4mb to 13mb. However I still have static on my line, and the broadband disconnects so they still want to send the engineer round.
What trouble am I in when the engineer finds no BT Master socket in the house?!
