Help with BT wiring

Cool, you could charge up a powerwall from the DC bit then. Just not very quickly.

Do you have full fibre (FTTP) available? Just being offered in our area and it's the same price as FTTC and requires a completely new cabling from the pole so you'd get it changed free.

This is exactly what I did. Crappy copper line with broadband drop outs when it rained. BT didn't want to know. New FTTP line installed 900/300 internet provided by a local ISP that's rock solid. Had the fibre come in at the opposite end of the house to the old line which is much more convenient than the old set up.

Alas, no FTTP as yet.

I've bought some connectors, cable and a new master socket, so will do it this weekend if they arrive.

That cable is ancient, it's not twisted pair so surprised your getting good speeds. The cross section of the copper has nothing to do with it! Oh, & beware of cheap cable, loads of stty CCA or CCS cable out there. I could sell you everything you need but I gave up posting on forums years ago, we aren't the cheapest & never will be. The line is 48v DC, if the phone rings 120v AC gets pumped over the pair

75ac its the ac that gets you .

For closure, all done.

The little clamp down connectors recommended and a Master socket with a cam type quick connection made it super easy, and I now have the cable entering the house and terminated tidily, just where I need it.

Thanks for the input everyone.
