Help with splicing lines

[barneszilla]

Hi

A few months ago I moved rooms in my house - there was an old virgin line going into the room.... so instead of paying BT to come out... I spliced by existing Sky Phone Line with the Virgin Line going into my house.... it is working fine and has done since I moved in, with no signal drops or attenuation changes.

I've now noticed that a dozy old Virgin engineer has come to my house (Shared house) to install for a new tenant who moved in, and has spliced (in the box on the outside of the house) a new phone line along with the standard Virgin Coax, and added some cabling to go upstairs to his flat.

Does anyone know if this will cause any issues? I'm pretty sure the guy shouldn't receive any phone/internet through my line should he?

I also notice a separate phone line is running into the new tenants room...do you think the engineer noticed the line wasn't working and installed a new one?

Where did you 'splice' it in? If you did it after disconnecting the Virgin wires from the socket you used, there should not be a problem.

Literally spliced it on the outside of the house. There was my skyline running next to the virgin TV cable line, and the virgin phone line. So basically the box outside of my house had Virgin TV, and Sky Broadband. The virgin engineer extended the virgin TV and my sky broadband up to the flat upstairs.

Its still not very clear what you have done. Maybe a couple of pictures would make it a bit plainer.
