I've just moved into a new house and the phone sockets is in one of the upstairs bedrooms (we'll call 1). I'd also like another socket in another bedroom (we'll call 2). The phone line comes in from an overhead cable to the edge of the roof, and the cable then runs along the front of the house and in through the wall into the bedroom 1. Bedroom 2 is actually closer to the roof point where the cable is attached to the house. The obvious thing to do is fit and external junction box and run a new cable into the bedroom 2. However, I'm assuming this external cable belongs to BT and can't be cut into? So would I need to run another cable from bedroom 1 to bedroom 2 back alongside the existing cable?
I'd prefer and external cable, as the internal route is very awkward. An external route would require one hole in the the wall and the socket fitted inside. It's just the cabling I'm not sure about. Can someone advice? I hope I've described my situation clearly.
