[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 495178, member: 6969"] I wired a loft conversion last year, including telephone points. I left it all working, at least a phone plugged into each point got a dialing tone. Customer was unhappy with broadband speed so called Open Reach. Customer now calls me back, nothing works except plugged into the master socket. The story from the OR guy was "it was wired wrong" and "I have disconnected unused sockets" He also replaced the old NTE5 with the latest version. I don't know if you have seen the latest ones but they are absolute rubbish. Flimsy horrible things where the front just clips on, but worse the stupid method now used to terminate cables off to slave sockets makes absolutely no provision to connect test probes. Anyway I re connected the disconnected sockets and tried connecting the cable to the new NTE5 outlet, but I just can;t get any life out of the slave sockets. I have ordered an old version of the NTE5 and will go and fit that. I am sure that will fix it. What idiots design this sort of stuff? [/QUOTE]
