Moved a BT master socket

[telectrix]

they won't like me then. original master was in front hall, 4 extension sockets had been added over the years. router is in conservatory round back. couple of years ago, had a fault. by dissing all the slave sockets, problem disappeared. as we have 4 cordless phones, i decided to move master to by router (as EE says it's best to have the router in the master). 30m of external black cat 5, over garage roof, from BT connection box up top of wall straight off the overhead line, into master in conservatory. end of problems. anyone complains i''l point them to the last time they repaired a neighbour's connection and failed to re-insert the fuse for next door's line.

This actually came up on a commercial property i am currently working on.... I said i wouldnt touch them (they have 3 incoming lines)

BT wanted £150 per line + vat despite them all running down 1 multicore cable and all master sockets next to each other on the wall...

Customer had a google and there are companies advertising bt master socket relocation as a service??? It was done in an hour...

That’s fine ... you aren’t involved .... so if anything goes wrong it’s down to the customer .....

now this how it goes ,did a job for a customer the master in back room ,added a new socket in the front room ,customer rang BT I cannot get any thing on the phone in the front room ,BT engineer turn up yes you have a fault in the front room .can you fix it
engineer to customer no ,this what I'm going to do I'm going to disconnect it. the master in the back room belongs to open reach.

"It has nothing to do with having the skills or the difficulty of moving it, it ain't yours to move."
It ain't mine...agreed.
Can I move it?
Yes, I can.
Rent your TV? Not yours, but I think you can move it...
Lease your car? Not yours, but useless if you can't move it...
It's down to degree, methinks...
Got a gas meter? Not yours. Can you move it? Nope, it's different, it needs skills, equipment, and there is a risk to life if you make a mess of it...

That is a pretty ignorant way of looking at it.

You are entitled to your opinion...
I to mine...
I do feel that a BT master socket is in a different and minor league though...
Oh, and I find the use of the word "ignorant" somewhat annoying and falling outwith the forum criteria, but as it matters not to me, I'll just ignore it...
see what I did there?
