Was doing some investigation into what our master socket situation is at our new place as the socket where the cable comes in is not a master socket but the one in our extension is despite clearing running off an extension lead around the side of the house.
opened the first socket up and was greeted with the horror show in the attached image.
now in the chicken/egg situation of needing openreach to come fix it so we can avoid potential downtime when we swap from the old place but they wont do anything until we have an active line and i have to go through isp who dont own the line until they move the service over.
thankfully isp guy reckons the line was in use before old owners moved out so the shitty extension master socket will work until we get it fixed. but also will probably be slapped with £200 openreach charge for having fucked around with the service boundaries.
would also like the master socket moved under the stairs which is easy to come in through front wall under floorboards of that room and up into stair cupboard but timing of all this will be after we've had new carpet installed and the room is decorated.
