Removing BT Box

kmck1 — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 16:54:38 GMT

I have 3 telephone sockets (one BT, one virgin and one standard by builder) I also have fibre connection for BT and one for Virgin. I’m trying to tidy up my wall and want to remove the BT one.
Am I right in thinking that the attached is old copper and I can remove without interrupting my fibre?
the loose box has been taken off but leads into the other box

unfortunately image is too big so will need to rethink!

No.... you cannot touch it.

It is the property of openreach. You will need to contact your ISP(in your case BT) to have it removed together with the cable to the outside, if fed overhead. There may be a charge for this.

Ooops. Already removed it. Certainly wouldn’t pay to have it removed.

Just remove it Openreach could not care less or even know if it is removed.
