RE: RE: ADSL contention rates

["Rodney Hall" <rmh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have extended the two wires that enter the house, then that's all
that's needed. I did just that and the BT man happily extended it - again -
to my office, where the computer resides. Works just fine. Just use a
splitter for the phone at the master socket.

Now that wires-only installation is available (there wasn't when I started)
there should be no problem anyway.
