So to be clear there is no way to have this done without footing the bill myself? Or are BT openreach responsible to provide a working modern master socket and will do it at their cost?

Interesting. I have just moved into the property and signed up with Vodafone Broadband for Internet and Line Rental. Should I tell them I have an old style master socket? If so will they then foot the cost to have it updated? Alternatively can I not DIY it? Looks fairly straightforward if I...

Hi Guys, I am having issues with getting advertised internet speeds on my new Vodafone Broadband connection to a home I just moved into. I was asked to connect the router to the 'master socket' which I assume mine is as its the first socket as you come in the bungalow and the other ones were...

Thanks for that, so used to DC 12v I mix up the terminology.

Any indication of how expensive to add the RCD to my existing 60Amp Shower MCB? Thanks :)

I am getting a bit confused as to why it is such an issue someone said I have a 32RCBO and a 16RCBO for my 2 socket sets? I am assuming the one labeled 'sockets' is my bungalow ring sockets? and the one labeled garage sockets is for the 3 sockets in my garage? Does this have a big impact...

Thank you for the reply echo. I must confess home electrics is new to me having mostly worked DIY wise on vehicles such as my campervan. Is there an easy way to know if my sockets are on a ring? This is one of the many junction boxes that seem to be above my sockets: My electrics are on...

Evening all, I have just moved into a bungalow and my first home :) I would like to install my router in the attic as there is no centrally viable location downstairs other than in my heater cupboard (hot air heating). Am I correct in thinking I can find where the socket ring is joined...
