Hello,
We are altering our phone extensions as part of a house renovation and I have 2 questions:
1. Our main phone line is wired by the 'star' method (due to there once being an old exchange type box there). I changed this for a junction box when we moved in so that the phones worked. We now need to add a couple of extra points on this line. Can we add extra phone points on one of the legs (therefore mixing wiring methods)? See diagram.

2. We are hoping to get BT to upgrade our second phone/ADSL line to an NTE5 box. I'd then like a filtered plate on the front to attach wiring for our extensions to use phone and ASDL (like this).
View media item 15712Question is, do I need to run 1 or 2 cables into the wall to an NTE5 box. Or is it possible to split both phone and broadband down separate pairs of a 3 pair cable? (I need to do this in advance as plasterer coming)
Thanks for any help!
