RE: Re: Telephone socket for Cat5e

[Keith Doxey <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

When people have double glazing installed and the wire was routed through
the old window frames they took one of 3 options

1. Call BT to reroute the wire (Rare)
2. window fitters remove old wire, drill new hole refit box. All works
(Quite common but naughty)
3. window fitters crush cable between new frame and brickwork. Fails some
time later. (Very common and Very Naughty)

As I said, upon your own head be it but (2).

Dont quote me or blame me if it goes wrong :-)

Point taken.

The only reason I wanted to move it would be to hide the cables. the
wire appears to come into the house on the first floor, down to the
ground then around the skirting board to the line box. Considering
the room where it comes into the house is where my node zero would
be, I'd like to chop it off up there and relocate the main linebox in
that cupboard, and chase the cabling into some conduit in the
process. I want to removed as much exposed wiring as possible.
