What are pins 1,3,4 and 6 for on a old style master socket?

Can you get broadband by connecting the income cable to pins 1,3,4,6 rather than 2 and 5?

and also what are pins 1,3,4 and 6 used for?

No, why would you want to.

1,4 and 6 are spare and 3 is for a bell wire for older phones and is not required

No.


1 & 6: Unused.
2 &  5: Phone.
3: Ring wire - not now needed for modern handsets.
4: Sometimes for PABX earth wire.
