1930s phone line

[Arbuckle14]

We are having a new hub fitted on Friday after being with virgin for many years. Openreach are coming out to reinstate the phone line. All I can see coming into our 1930s house are two wires red and black and these are on a wiring block with some other defunct cables coming off.

Is this all we need to connect a 5C master socket too. Also as we don’t have power near where the phone line is, I’ve run some cat6 data cable to another 5C master socket ( which I haven’t wired ) where we have power and where the super hub will sit.

You don't fit a phone master socket yourself, OR does when installing. But are you sure you are having a analogue (copper) landline rather than Digital Voice? What type of BB are you having, FTTP or FTTC? 

What is the name of the EE BB plan you've ordered including its speed?

What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker > Address Checker estimate for your address? Post the whole table, the text below it and the line above it, blanking out your address.

Hi
We are having Fibre 67 core, I wasn’t going to wire anything myself, we have an engineer visit, I was just checking if we had the correct wiring in place before the installation

Thanks

The OR eng will take care of all incoming wiring. Sounds like you have a connection Block Terminal on the incoming with some "defunct" cables going where? Is that where the other 5C master socket comes in? You can't have more than 1 master socket on the same circuit.

I'm unclear about you connecting Ethernet data cables to phone sockets. It should just be normal telephone wiring extension cable.

N.B. Everything up to the master socket is the property of BT and should not be tampered with. All in all don't worry about any existing incoming wiring & let the OR eng. take care of it.
