Moving a BT socket

Stanlee59 — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 11:03:06 GMT

Redecorating so would like to move a DSL socket. Currently line comes through the external wall and sits directly over the hole that was made and would like to move it around 3 foot to an internal wall. Is this something you can do yourself or do I need a telecoms engineer ?

Have tried to post some photos but the files are too big even on the phones lowest settings.

Who provides your phone and broadband connection?

You could move it yourself if you know what you are doing, otherwise you would have to find someone local, which may be difficult during lockdown.

Think I'll not chance it and look for someone to do it.
