Hi All
I moved into a new house which for one reason or another has not had broadband connected before. Its FTTC. I can see the line come in from the street, go through the small connector box pictured below, and then into the master socket. there is one extension connected to the master socket.
I work from home often and I am in IT so I really want to optimize the reliability and speed of the broadband connection. I will disconnect the extension socket as I believe some "echo" can happen to the signal if these are still connected and I dont need it anyway. My question is can I remove the small connector box and have the phone line from outside go straight into the back of the master socket? The connector box is very old and clearly designed before any from of broadband was sent on the cable.
