Some Openreach engineers may have spouses or partners and children that might be a little inconvenienced if they lost their job and pension rights.

In your world maybe that isn't an issue.

I really can't be bothered to make an issue of it.

Then why slag off two OR men who seem to me to be much better than you?

"Better than you" How dare you? What right have you got to make personal criticism of other people in public forums.

Maybe you started it?

Must be a much more perfect world in Stockport than where the rest of us live.

Well Brightsparks engineer came to the house, would not touch the wiring said that has to be done be a BT engineer. He stated he would loose his job if he touched that wiring. Itis frayed around by the word wiring.

Which bit of the diagram you link to would he not touch then ?

I see in the diagram you call the windowsill box as a socket. In your OP you called it a connection box. Which is it, and what is inside it? Just connectors, or master socket circuitry? (Careful how you remove the faceplate).

Hi

From the socket where the router is attached to the box on the bay window sill.

Hi

I thought originally that the box on the window was the master socket but as pointed out recently by the wife the one on the widow is a connections only that feed through to the box attached to the router which is the master socket.

Originally the one on the window sill was the master socket but many years ago that was changed by BT to be just a box that feeds through the wire to the master socket.

a box that feeds through the wire

I'm sorry but I don't understand what this means. Is there a telephone socket here? How does the wire to the master socket connect to the wire coming in from outside?
