Master socket change
As I am shortly moving to Sky Unlimited BB I have been reading the posts concerning wireless connections and ethernet cables with interest. Has anyone tried getting the master socket moved to a point nearer to the PC?. My master socket is in the hall and if it could be moved to my study it would solve a lot of problems. Presumably this would have to be done by the BTOR engineer. Is it easy to do and would it affect any other aspects of the tel' system like extensions etc? Has anyone had this done? Any info' would be helpful. Thanks.

Re: Master socket change
Since you appear to be moving from a Cable provider to Sky, this may be possible.
The BTO Engineer would need to do this. The danger is he may not need to visit your home when you get connected to Sky as this isn't always a necessity.

Re: Master socket change
I have had this done; I just wanted to move the socket having been a Sky line rental & Talk cstomer for a number of years. Sky resisted until I explained the socket was damaged and thy eventually relented and asked BTO to come out and do the work.
