Hi
Moved to a new house which previously had Virgin. The house has around 5 telephone extensions in various rooms wired somehow from the BT master socket. Next to the BT master socket is another master socket with Virgin on it, and a black wire runs from the bottom of the Virgin box into the BT master socket. There is no BT line activated yet.
It looks to me as though the Virgin telephone has been wired into the BT master socket in order to wire in all the extensions running from behind it to the outside wall that then run around the house in various directions.
I plan to remove all these extensions (and just have a DECT phone) and then FTTC.
Is this a common practice? Seems a bit odd, and potentially the Virgin telephone connection travels back towards the BT exchange, which I can't imagine BT would be happy about. When BT activate the line, that will then run back towards Virgin media, unless they disconnect it first.
Openreach are booked to install a new phone line and activate FTTC at the same time, so presumably they will sort this out and not cause much fuss over it given it was how we found it?
Regards
Phil
