I was talking about the general rural areas that don't have fttc. Should of been more clear.

OT   Sorry to raise what will seem a persnickety point on your post, but I've seen "should of". I think, three times today.
What should have been written is "should have" or "should've". "Should of" comes from the way modern English is spoken.

Persnickety is a North Americanism. We say 'Pernickety', in the UK.

Really?
I suspect you may use somewhat different words with the same meaning when describing one of those types of end user to your colleagues in the canteen.

  Absolutely right, BE ........ we often refer to those type of EU as 'cads' and 'bounders' !!

Yes, that's obviously what I meant - NOT!!!

I very nearly did hug the engineer when he found & fixed my intermittent line fault back in May 2012 after 11 months of LTOK results (remember my epic thread? - silly question really; how could you possibly forget it?  )

And I thought a persnickety was someone who dipped in to ladies' handbags. Must look at my spell checker; too many are US based, so u.s.

I'm hoping if I make a nice cup of tea for my engineer, he might move my master socket

[AArdvark]

If your current linebox does not look like this:


The OR Engineer will fit a new one anyway.
If you ask nicely they will fit it where you want. (Within reason)

I got mine moved from just inside the front door to upstairs where all the main computers are.

Worth asking and the tea goes down well as an extra. 

[Clarified 'Engineer' predicated on an Engineer does call. i.e: not Self Install (Thanks Black Sheep))

Is this regarding the upcoming FTTC upgrade on your Cab

If so, it depends on how you order your product. If it's a self-install, then you won't even see an engineer. If you choose the HWS module (Home Wiring Solutions), then if you tell the engineer you want the socket moving they have to ..... as you will be billed for it. Brew or no brew.

Mine does look like that.

Nonetheless I am hoping they'll move it to the hall in preparation for my ethernet being run around the house

Well the cabinet is there and has had all the fibre run now but orders are still unavailable!

TalkTalk say if I go for the 76Mbps option, they'll send an engineer so that's okay.

Wait, so they won't move the master socket even if I ask?
