Beware... Last time I used clarity, I received no product, no response to emails, and no refund. I didn't seem to be alone either.
I don't often make absolute statements warning people off a place ... but I have no problem doing so here.

An update!
BT Openreach have said I can only have copper as fibre has a very long time (many months) between request and supply of cables. The area engineer was also quite difficult to deal with and said I could not route their wiring into the cellar from outside the property, however, changed his tune when I said VM are fine with it! So it looks like just copper from BT.
VM have delivered their cables and I have begun installing them - I *think* it's RG6 and there will be a fair bit left over. Can I use this for my satellite install?

Does anyone know what size backbox I could use to flush mount a BT master socket? I won't be doing the front end fitting myself (BT will) but I rather have it sunk in the wall if possible.

Just a bog-standard electrical
single back-box
, but
don't
install a shallow one or the NTE5 won't fit properly.

Will a 35mm single gang metal backbox (normally they're 25mm I think?) do?

Use a 35mm back box, gives you a bit more space for wiring.
And use 20mm open rubber grommets on the knockouts, will save you chaffing the wire, as edges of knockouts can be sharp.
