Hi guys,
I wonder if you can help me. I've had Virgin/Telewest for years, but have now cancelled the TV (keeping broadband & phone) as it's rubbish, and I will have sky installed tomorrow. Trouble is, they want a phone line to connect the box to. I have only one line installed and it's in another room to the TV and the main cable box and splitter.
Out of the sloped white Telewest box on the wall (which connects to the splitter for the coaxial connections for broadband and TV), the basic phone cable comes out and goes to the phone socket.
Can I (theoretically of course) undo this box, disconnect the phone cable, and reconnect it with another phone cable (so in essence, double-up) and run this to another socket? I have another socket, the relevant cable and connectors. I just need to know if this is possible, and if so, what the colour combinations would be.
Thanks
Jon
