- When showing the location to install, request he install on a "conn box" (a.k.a Krone 254B) instead of the usual NTE5 "master socket" that they would terminate domestic lines on.
- And there you have it.... full official flexibility is now yours to put "master sockets" wherever you want. If you're lucky, the BT engineer may even leave you a few "spare" BT-branded master sockets....
Nice to know - the next time Mr BT arrives it will be to install BT Business Fibre (Infinity for people who like static IP addresses). Do you know whether they've relaxed their rules around that install too?
