Hi everybody me again, I've got a load humming noise coming from the pc so took the side off and switched it back on and it seems to be coming from the PSU unit, On the side it says it's a HEC-300AR-PTE unit can someone please suggest a good replacement,

Thanks in advance Grahame

Why buy one? BT will not install your for you but will use their own.

The rules / law are clear about it, you cannot change the master socket yourself unless it has a detachable lower half to the face plate which is all you can tamper with.

Thanks for the links John will sort one out over the weekend

Hi MHC, Yes they will install one for you and charge £125 for two minutes work, I thought I read somewhere on these forums that you could change anything from the box on the outside wall where it comes into the building obviously not but £125 is a lot of money

Modernish BT installations have the demarcation point outside the house. Usually the demarcation point is the BT internal master socket. What sort/type of BT master socket do you have?

No, not if you have an old style master - the demarcation point will be that socket.

And it is not just 2 minutes work. How does the technician get there? Star Trek type transportation ? Or drive?

Thanks John my socket is the old seventies type so that would be BTs cut off point, Still might replace it though

Thanks Grahame
