Connection Point Install

[serdarkaracay]

Hi, I hope all is well.

I tenanted a new house. Before applying, how can I be sure there is a connection point for IT in the new home?

I add what happened at home as a picture.

Many thanks.

Easist way is to put your phone number or address into the Openreach wholesale checker https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL
to see what type of connection (ADSL, VDSL or FTTP) you can get.

Thank @Gary_C  so very much.

Master socket with a single socket. Reference https://www.bt.com/help/broadband/getting-set-up/home-networks/a-wired-home-network/what-type-of-mas...

So from that you should be able to order VDSL with good speed.

You can also order G.Fast which will give you very good speeds as you seem to be close enough to the cabinet to get the best out of it.

The socket would need you to use filters on any phone there and on any extension, so a dual master socket with an inbuilt filter would be better and should be easy to ask for on ordering I would have thought and if you go G.Fast I think a new master socket is part of the install.

Thanks @Gary_C .

I will only use the internet. I don't need a landline phone.

I think the master socket will be sufficient.

You would still be allocated a phone number, whether you use it or not, there is no extra charge, but if you do make any calls, they are charged at 20p a minute.

In theory, it is. In practice, I will not use a landline phone.

Is master socket single socket enough? This is the question.  😎

You just need to plug in a microfilter which provides the correct connection for the lead from the home hub.

A microfilter is normally provided with the home hub.

As shown here.

if you select G.FAST you probably get socket replaced with one that has 2 connections - phone and broadband
