I added an edit to my previous post, in case you didn't see the edit.

Will follow steps. Also what socket would I need?

Use can use this one, you could still wire the phone in if you wished, but that may well complicate things!

Or use this just for data

It would also be worth getting a Krone punch down tool

The Clarity website also has plenty of very good, and light hearted guides on it which are worth reading.

Good luck.

I've decided not to go ahead with changing the master socket, as I am hoping to leave PN when contract ends so will ask BT engineer at the time when I get a different FTTC service to install a data extension kit.

Well that was a waste of all our time

You may not even get an engineer visit when changing as you are already on fibre.

Sorry about that, I just don't want to make an illegal risk and getting fined up to £200 for repair and tampering with BT's equipment and property, I have invested in a good pair of homeplugs from Currys/PCWorld http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/devolo-dlan-500-avplus-... they cost £50 quid and very easy to set up! Got em delivered today with next day delivery.

Not a problem, and adding a data extension is not illegal or against BT's T&Cs as long as you only remove the face plate and intermediate filter, and not the rear part of the master socket.

But you didn't want these ? I am curious, you mentioned that you were an experienced installer, of what ?

Can we start a poll?

I'm going to guess at a kitchen installer.

He's actually an ELECTRICIAN!

I'm sorry, but if he can't rewire a telephone extension to a data extension then I wouldn't let him near my wiring!

I wonder if he can tell me how to move the Electricity Supply Co's demarkation point from before the CU to a point between the CU and light circuit. I'm sure it can be done ...
