Re: BT Wiring Question

["Nick Shore" <nick.shore@xxxxxxx>]

I think the official line is that BT own all the wiring up to and including
the the master socket.

Normally on the master socket is a seperate connector where extensions can
be added, this is the start
of the user accessible part.

I think a rerouting of the drop wire *should* require BT to do it, I'm
suire
Keith will be along soon to give you an insidres view point.
