Moving bt socket

[wjwren]

i want to move this to the other side of the room. Can i join the cables and do away with that face plate so i only have one or do I need to come off this one thus having 2 in the room?

That is the BT master socket
Strictly speaking you can’t move that, any wiring beyond it will be your responsibility

I definitely didn’t look up the BT cost of moving it, didn’t find a local man to do it for £50 instead, no sir.

That is where the line from BT comes in an terminates.

If you want a phone socket on the otherside, you can easily run a cable from there to the new location and have both.

As said, if you want to (re)move that one also, you either need to pay BT to do it, or do it on the sly.

If doing it yourself, remember amongst other things it is live and have 50v on it.
