    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    So with Fibre you have to have (at least) 2 powered boxes. 1. An ONT Optical Network Termination. and is the size an FCU (so standard back boxes can be used on new builds). The fibre goes in, DC power, and an ethernet socket to the router (a red cable is used to signify its incoming). Early...

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    Apparently the fibre connections don't go into the cabinets Just seam to be all under ground. I think they are trying to get rid of the cabinets. Someone had an idea, what to do with these roadside boxes, that have a power supply to them? Answer = An ideal point for an EV charger. Except...

    Allowable Cooker Connection Unit outlet plate positions behind built-in oven?

    Yeah with 2.5mm cable you want 16 or 20. Then just connect the oven up to the CCU and don’t worry about it

    Allowable Cooker Connection Unit outlet plate positions behind built-in oven?

    If they have said to put the "the mains socket" in hatched area, then they will have tested that, and satisfied themselves its ok. Have you purchased the oven yet? It seam's to suggest it comes with a plug, and you need to fit a socket. In which case you fit a socket As heat rises it should be...

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    I don’t think the ups included the router The cost and maintenance of batteries would make it silly of them to provided it to everyone. The ONT had a phone socket I guess. Now deleted

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    morq It’s interesting that the early fibre adopters had battery backup installed in their homes to ensure phone still worked. (Maybe an option). They seam to have stopped that now. You can see videos on YouTube with them.

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    I don't think the data is out there yet, as to what a FTTP with phone connection only, would cost. If anyone was likely to get this, it was John, but he seams to have escaped it for now

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    Yeah, I discovered this new feature when I moved to VOIP (plugged into router). They aren't always nuissance. One was a call I was expecting. I think it also comes up with PRIVATE

    AND Heat. Don't want to get the fuse any hotter than necessary. I fitted an AEG cooker, and the instructions located certain external surfaces would be hot. (near elements i expect) Heat rises, so that location at the bottom seams sensible

    Allowable Cooker Connection Unit outlet plate positions behind built-in oven?

    More to do with the lump on rear of oven and heat. Surprised it doesn’t come with a plug.

    'Isolator'/switch for smoke etc. alarms?

    How often so you need to do maintenance on it ? Once every 10 years! Far more likely to be changing a light fixture

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    They are no longer selling FTTC. You would only be on it if you had an internet connection. EE voip call costs are the same whether dialling a mobile or landline.

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    John I think you are over worrying. While FTTP was initially more expensive (and new build home owners were forced to pay a premium), it is now normalised. If you are being forced to move from copper phone line to FTTP phone only, I don't see why your contract should increase. For people on...

    BT phone line/service 'upgrade'

    ppl won't be forced to have an internet connection. They will however, have fibre into their home, and a box very much like a cut down router to provide the VOIP Unless of course, common sense prevails. It's becoming a problem even getting a phone line with an internet connection these days...

    Reliable shower brand

    There is another resetable trip at a lower temperature. Anyway this 75c sensor rattled. (And made contacts join). It was suggested that when the shower was turned off, temp. In the tank increased and caused failure. Some brands run on apparently to expel hot water.
