    confused by non-functioning BT master socket

    they're supposed to redo star wiring at no charge but this is specifically where it was bt that done it, back when that was the standard. if they see any DIY/ modifications to the circuit that weren't done by them, then the whole job will be chargeable.

    Open reach responsibly vs my responsibility

    if the cable goes faulty they would expect you to expose the cable (lift the floor) and call them back. if you can't (or refuse to) they will run a new cable at your cost. usually requires civils works and a survey, so can run into several thousand, and it takes ages to get done meaning you have...

    Going fibre broadband & moving master socket.

    just fill the hole normally. in the (unlikely) event you need to pull more through in the future, the filler will come away with a light tug. agree with the holes aw, but a spade bit can be used carefully (sharp and let the bit do the work). I use 16mm for rj11 plugs so 20mm sounds about...

    confused by non-functioning BT master socket

    the master has been bypassed for some reason, either to improve broadband speeds (with just one socket on the circuit) or because the supply has went faulty and been renewed from a different direction, and the nte hasn't been included in the new circuit

    Basement and right to light

    let me guess...your neighbour wants to convert his basement, and you (auction) want to put up a 2m fence in order to block light to the windows to oppose the application? getting warmer?

    Feedback Problem??

    you said feedback in your title but what you describe in the post isn't, can you clarify (feedback is where noise from the mic gets fed through the speaker and amplified, this is almost always the phone handset, usually cheap sect phones) a hum or generally bad voice quality can be caused...

    Help needed re-wiring a BT junction box

    from what I can gather, he had 2 lines initially, and since one of them was discontinued, decided he wanted the remaining line on both sockets.

    Why Do I Have 3 Master Phone Sockets?

    they're line jack units 2/1, ie small extension sockets that come with a capacitor. most of us had limited space in our van so carried limited stock, so it made sense to choose these from the stores, because they would still work even if you only had 2 wires available, whereas the ones without...

    Help needed re-wiring a BT junction box

    Your line on the green black is one leg disconnected. I would inspect that pair for damage, failing that, you'll have to call Bt.

    Help needed re-wiring a BT junction box

    possibly, though it would be a coincidence it develops a fault the same time you started tidying up the bt78. there's a possibility you have broken the green black pair in the neck of the cable. take hold of each wire individually between finger and thumb and very gently pull as if you were...

    Help needed re-wiring a BT junction box

    so we now know orange white is the stopped line. take the orange white from the dropwire and push it aside, we will not require this. put green black in top 1 and 2 respectively. and put both blues from the internal wires into bottom 1 and both oranges from the internal wire (NOT THE...

    Help needed re-wiring a BT junction box

    just trying all combinations is going to take a very long time, you need to think about what you're doing, no disrespect. I can say for an almost fact that one line will be on wh/or and the other one on gr/bl, and if you have only 2 internal wires and two sockets it should be straightforward...
