It is starting to go off topic now -
Quote I am curious, you mentioned that you were an experienced installer, of what ?
Quote Can we start a poll?
I'm going to guess at a kitchen installer.

Edit: from reading the start of the TBB thread I see he didn't know what a twisted pair are - experienced installer were his words in the OP
Edit2: Oh, and make sure the wires are all correctly connected in the "little white box" Arghh it's not a BT77A connector box , it's got Jelly Crimps, well he needs a BT77A to replace that lot with and connect them correctly.

experienced installer in what? (Sky box)
I did not read all 3 pages, but it is very very easy to move the master socket, two screw drivers and may be a drill, that is all that is needed
I am not an experienced installer, but I do know how to do it, but ain't saying here

I see from the pics linked over on TBB there's another "little white box" just to the right of the NTE5a and nobody's asked to see what's in it. I'd guess it's where the BT i/c is crimped to a cable to the NTE5a but I'd want a pic of inside to see to be sure.
Strike's me that as he hasn't got a clue what he's doing, the Homeplugs he's ordered are his best solution.

Quote from: JamieDanjoux I'm an electrician not some fancy telephone engineer, but I do have experience installing cables etc...
I'm sorry, but if he can't rewire a telephone extension to a data extension then I wouldn't let him near my wiring!

One thing to bare in mind, for others is that the guy at PC world doesn't know what he's talking about, or is not aware of the full facts.
Homeplugs will often have adverse effects on FTTC by causing interference (radio hams hate them), and depending on which type you get they may well simply not be fastest enough to cope.
Also, not usually a problem in residential properties, but in commercial properties they can have problems working if used on rings mains which are on a different phases.
