In reply to a post by yarwell:

I'm studying your photos, it looks to me like the black incoming cable (with jelly all over it) has some crimped connections leading off elsewhere before the blue/white pair in the grey sheath go to the adjacent master socket ?

That should be the Sky line?

probably includes the Sky line but there are at least two other internal grade cables entering top right and at least one is wired to the crimps that feed the other line.

Hi Yarwell,

Thanks for your replies.

I honestly don't have a clue about any of this - my brother done the wiring.

I've attached some pictures here for another look to see if you can get any better of it:

From the grey cable, there's a load of wires coming out which are disconnected except orange and blue.

The cable which is attached to the master socket has only the blue and white blue cables connected.

Note: I've got a lot of heavy electrical equipment located right beside the socket, I heard this could be bad, is it?

By the way, I've recorded a video on my phone to show you about the box as I think it's better than just pictures. I'll post it in 20 minutes whenever it's uploaded ( slow connection )

so are you going to get a BT guy to sort this or have a go yourself ?

You have wired extensions connected before the NTE5 adjacent to the junction box, as far as I can see. These should be either snipped or wired to the back of the NTE faceplate.

What's the black cable for at the top ? is that bringing another line in - what connections are used from that.

Here's that vid, I'll get back to you within the next few minutes on those questions you asked.

where ?

sorry, forgot about that

Right, ok

The internal cables at the top were for old phone leads that were going into cottage type things.

I think I'm going to spend half an hour here and cut out all the [censored] that I don't need.

jack

good idea, if you can keep the links from the master socket to the incoming cable and snip the other things off the jelly crimps that would be a start.

WHAT?!

How very DARE you say that? I resemble that remark!! I have a good mind to flipping well start thinking if you start any more of that.., that... crepe - and you just see if I *DON'T!! [growl]

*Don't worry, there is NO chance that I will ever start thinking, so there!
