Title: BT Master Socket Post by: Dozno9 on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:12:25 I am with Sky for my broadband, phone and TV.
I want to move my Master Socket from the bowels of my house to an external wall as I can now get Fibre Optic and the phone wiring is really old and in a mess so I want to start afresh. The cable from the pole outside goes into a little GPO box thing inside my house then out of that is a cable that goes to the master socket. Sky have said to get a local guy to do it... I don't know if BT Openreach will do as I'm Joe Public and even if they do I don't know how much it's gonna set me back. Can any help? Anyone... Update - Sky just phoned and said they made a mistake and only BT Openreach can do it but they don't know how much it will be.

When he's there, ask him to move the master socket; it's included as part of the job if necessary. Mine was and they moved it without any quibbles.

Just changed to BT - they promised download of 3Mbps - get 1.92 on a good day :crash: Title: Re: BT Master Socket Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:21:39 So Sky pay them for the install then and that covers a Master Socket move also? Yes. Title: Re: BT Master Socket Post by: Dozno9 on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:23:59 Great, thanks.
Sky have given me 2 options; Fibre to the green box or fibre to my house. I've gone for the cheaper one as compared to the speed I get now (I blame the location of the Master Socket) it's going be good. At the moment I have 6 devices on wireless and it's not great. Title: Re: BT Master Socket Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 20:30:20 Wifi speeds are limited by the the protocol (e.g. b/g/n) and interference. From my n capable devices I can get about 30Mbps as opposed to the full fibre speed of 80Mbps.
