sorted out electrics in bedroom, now onto the next job
want to sort out telephone sockets in the house, at the moment there is one in the lounge, and one in the bedroom. The bedroom is fed from an extension plug from the lounge. Thought it would be easy to add another line up to the computer room, ready for broadband....
looked at the master socket - it's not one of the usual types with the little box at the bottom to take off. It looks like this

There are only 2 wires connected from outside - blue and orange, the other 2 wires (green and brown) are not connected. The wire coming out is the newer style wire that i'm used to, but is only connected to 2 points.
The phone works ok at the moment by the way. If a bit crackly sometimes.
Question is, can I just take all my lines from this box in a series, like a radial circuit?
