    Fascia replacement: removing phone line cable?

    I would be extremely careful if you are going to try it yourself. Unless the dropwire from the pole to your house is short (less than 15m) and does not cross any road you should be able to do it. Over that length,i dont think you realise how much the cable weighs and what strain its under,it...

    BT junction box and drop wire - broadband issue

    Unless you get a REALLY NASTY engineer,i think you will find that if the engineer can prove any fault into the external network they (ie OP/BT) will do what ever they have to at no cost to you. In this stupid world of health and safety imagine this scenario:- Telegraph pole outside your...

    Two Master Sockets?

    Are there 2 overhead cables entering your house? If so ,i would say the previous owner had 2 seperate phone lines installed hence the nte5 upstairs and the 2/1a downstairs.Again,if this is the situation,you will only get both sockets to work by running a cable between them.(2 master sockets on...

    Multiple BT Lines Over Single CAT5e To Patch Panel

    If thats what you meant then you should explain it better! Why didn't you say "you can connect into an nte5 if you connect to the terminals on the removable lower front faceplate"? Much simpler and easier to understand than "You are not allowed to connect direct to a master socket. You...

    Multiple BT Lines Over Single CAT5e To Patch Panel

    If it is a nte5 master socket,of course you are allowed to connect into it! :roll: What are you actually trying to achieve? 4 telephony extensions or 4 telephone AND broadband extensions?

    Telephone wiring help needed

    Are you sure it is not stranded cable? The only cable with wires that colour that i have seen are alarm cables and some 'telephone lead cables'.The new colours that BT are using are blue,orange,green and brown. Just re-read your post........ If the cable from your master to the 'junction...

    Telephone wiring help needed

    It sounds like at least some of the cable could be stranded alarm cable. It is not meant to be terminated in idc connections so this could be a problem with you broadband.It also sound like previous owners have 'bodged' any diy work. It is probably better to rip out and start again! You sound...

    white goods - whinge

    Just a quick reply,strictly not 'on' topic,but saw a topic on white goods on a forum (by Big All i think) a while ago saying that the extended warranty on 'silver',as opposed to 'white' goods at Argos was more! ANY REASON WHY,IN RIP OFF BRITAIN? :twisted:

    Bosch dishwasher not draining

    Although our dishwasher is an indesit we had exactly the same problem. Just 1 week after the warranty ended. :twisted: We called out a local 'repairman' who said it was a known design fault on our model and the only way out of it was to pay too much money (ie uneconomical to fix) The only...

    Gaps in laminate floor

    I could be wrong,but is everyone missing the point here?I have yet to see a laminate that says you can use it with underfloor heating,(and yet to see underfloor heating that says you can use their product under laminate) and if it is the 'cheapo' from one of the sheds you almost certainly cannot...
