I currently have two BT lines coming into my house. 1 live and one not.

Both have 3 extensions on them (inc the master).

Can I join them up and get all 6 sockets live on the line that works? I have had a quick google which seems to say ~I can only have REN equiv of 4 which is fine as there will only ever be a couple of phones and a modem connected.

TIA

Ah yes, that all makes sense. I intended to leave the old master alone and just use the two other socket extensions.

I spent a couple of hours last night moving one on the existing line to a more appropriate position, we have ADSL coming in next week so once that is working properly then I'll disconnect the old circuit from its master and wire it all together.

Thanks
