Move Master socket

Hi, I would like to have my master socket moved and can't see a way of requesting this on the website, but have seen a few people on here have their request addressed. Can I get some advice on how to start this process please. Happy with the extra costs involved

@chlolivo You will need to contact Customer Support by phone.

@chlolivo might be simpler, quicker & cheaper to get an ex-BT engineer in your area to do it https://ex-btengineer.co.uk/

@chlolivo 

Is full fibre available to you BT Broadband Address checker 

If you can migrate to Full Fibre with the new fibre cable hopefully run to a location of your choice, there would be no charge.

The only downside is you would need to find a VoIP phone provider as plusnet do not offer a landline phone with Full Fibre.

Further advice can be provided regarding VoIP if needed

@chlolivo 

If you phone PN they should be able to sort this for you. As you are aware this is a chargable event.

 

If Full Fibre is coming your way then the Master Socket becomes redundant. Is it worth moving or would a high quality phone extension cable do the trick in the short term? You might lose a bit of performance but a lot cheaper than getting the socket moved.

 

If FF isn't yet available what does OR say for your address? www.openreach.co.uk
