Socket to modem, engineer should be able to sort that.

Modem to HH, get your own cable, CAT5E ethernet patch is what you want. The HH3 probably will just arrive with a standard 2m ethernet cable.

As Andrew says, or you could get the engineer to install the socket for the modem near where you want the router, and then the standard ethernet cable with the router will be fine to connect to the modem. The modem and router each need a power socket of course.

Decent quality 7m cables: Here

10m cables: Here

At sensible prices and colours to match the decor! And I can recommend Kikatek as a small company with good prices and the right attitude.

In reply to a post by Zarjaz:

Not quite an ethernet cable, the cable used for data extension kits (internal or external grade) is just a 2 pair, but with high Cat5 twist on the pairs. The is used between the modem and the filter.

Ethernet can run over 2 pairs - the cables I have seen are Cat5e 2 pair solid conductor infrastructure type. Is it still supplied with an RJ11/12 connector at one end and a socket to connect at the other?

Will something cheap like THIS do for the modem to HH or would it be better to pay a bit more for better quality.

It should be OK but not a company I have come across. Their price for a 50M cable at £6 is VERY low ...

Maybe pay a little more and go for a Cables to Go lead. Free postage but may take a day or tow more to arrive.

And buy a few extra as you never know when you may need one.

Just one other thing, i've got to wait until the 1st Feb for my line to be transferred back before I can order the BB and Vision, i'm assuming it will then be another 2 weeks before these are in place?
I cant understand why it takes so long for the line to be transferred and why it needs to be done at all, after all it's still a BT line, I just pay line rental to Sky
