Can't see why you should have a problem.

Don't know if you are doing the self-install option with the splitters. Recommend that any equipment such as an alarm system, Sky box etc are connected (hardwired) directly from the voice part of the ADSL faceplate on the Master socket via extension wiring and not via a splitter.

I have found that the splitters don't split too well and you get too much background noise (generally a tone on the line) which can upset some devices with built in modems such as an alarm system.

And if you are using BT and have a spare £70 go and buy your own ADSL modem. Don't use the Alcatel frog - unreliable at best. Having endured 12 months of appauling service I bought a Zoom ADSL modem - service has never been better.

Good luck - enjoy Broadband,
