BT Socket

[navidsatan]

Hello to all
I was wondering If could anyone help me.
In my House the BT socket is very old just to give you an idea its one of those that has only 2 screws and when toy open them the whole socket comes off.
I had a look inside there were 4 wires.
White is connected to 2 and Orange to 5.
black and Green are just hanging there and are not connecting to anything.
1) Is this the way it should be???? (Black and Green hanging?)
2) If I get a a socket from ADSLNATION, would it be any improvements???

Thanks

Hi Nav,

Yes I think it will, all the instructions come with the plate, and for £12 you don't have too much to loose.

because you have an old socket, it should not affect your speed, however, if you want to go to a good DIY shop and buy the new type master socket, then just reconnect the wires in the new socket to the same numbers, (White 2 Orange 5) the capacitor in them makes the actuall bell ring, so no need to connect the bell wire. this would only need to be done if you have any extensions from it (bell wire connects to number 3) you will need a krone or poyet tool to ensure a good connection.

The colour code you have described is a match for being serviced via a telephone pole. The dropwire from the pole is a number 10 dropwire and has an orange/white which is your main feed and the green/black is only connected if you have a second telephone line to your house. If you only have one telephone line then the green/black should not be connected to anything. It is perfectly normal to see it just hanging there.

Hello to everyone,
Thanks for letting me know that it is normal to have those two wires hanging.
I think I'll just go ana get a new socket and a krone tool.

Meanwhile, The problem that I explained above I recond is nothing to do with my socket.
Ok I Did turn of UPnp and did a various tests and reboots, but still the same problem.

Thanks
