think of it as renting exchange equipment and all jumpering in the exchange in theory should be in place as nearly everybody is converting/converted to BB so it is all at a touch of a button except if the jumper cable is not there. In most cases if you order a line from BT and you require BB...

in theory yes although you can have the dialtone on your line removed via software in the exchange however i would say that if it were software based then ring tone would not be present. if you imagine the likes of tiscali, tesco and all other braodband providers are now able to put there...

Have you rang BT because broadband signal is put on the line from a different part of the exchange from the line side. So you can have braodband without dialtone on the line. Here is what may have happened. In the exchange your line side has been disconnected thus no dialtone but you will get...

I know there is not alot of void behind to do it and it is tight up against an adjoining wall that doesnt help with the metal box with tails. The CU is metal clad and it just appears that it would be easier to use some form of clamp around the steel with a tail to the CU Im just concerned for...

also but i will stand corrected if I must but I thought alarms should be either on a fused spur off the main or dedicated fused spur not off the lighting circuit but im probably wrong.

Right then heres one mr plasterboard man has boarded and plastered a wall and positioned all circuit cables including SWA feed to a new gym so that they come into the consumer unit from the rear. Any ideas on earthing the steel safley or do I tell the customer the best option is for bottom or...
