Re: Turning an extension socket into a fibre socket?

Its not for telephone its for the BTO modem thats what the thread is about! Thats why I needed to move the VDSL filtered plate so the modem will work in extension location.

For the BTO modem? for internet not fibre voice service which people get confused about sometimes?

Assuming we are talking the Openreach FTTC service and NOT FTTP full fibre service then yes no reason why the long list of steps would not work, beyond the caveat that only Openreach engineers are meant to do it

The Gel Crimps are http://www.telephone-wiring.co.uk/geljelly-filled-co... are about the only thing you don't have at present.

Possibly.

Distance is everything with VDSL, an extra 20 m of telephone wiring can mean a couple of Meg lost.

I have 4 ext sockets, they all head to master but just before they go into master it goes into a little white box then only one cable comes out of the white box then goes into the master. Can you advise me what to do??

That sounds as if it shouldn't be any problem. The problem is with extensions that come from extensions wired before the master.

There would be a problem if the main incoming feed also joined the extensions at the white box and they went together to the master. But as long as the incoming feed is direct to the master, with the line to the white box separate, no problem.
