Do it your self move the cable some were out of the road and pull cat 5e cable very were you need a phone or a tv and put rj45s at each put ADSL or internet switch there and you can use the points for laptops smart tvs sky or even a phone will plug in and work on the rj45s as the middle two points fit I have done it god no's how many times. get a tiwn plate with 6 points on it mark them up ie master tv, bedroom, kitcten, alarm, M bedroom and so on. Use rj45 leads two make them phone or coms.Just make sure that you go into a master phone point into a filter and your internet switch/server will do the rest,you mite need a phone splitter or two.

Don't quite get that, so if I route that cable into a nte5 master socket and then route an extension from that using cat5 or 6 cable into a central point where my telephone will be and then how would I connect this up? I am wanting to hardwire a Ethernet points from my router to my tv area for sky, tv, Xbox and ps3 can I do this? How do I connect all this up? I'm a novice with regards to all this so any help is appreciated

Is there any wiring diagrams a available

rj45s are cat 5 points they connect up,from point to point and then lead from each point to ie internet box to xbox all the connections or coloured so joint the dots you can get a tester of less than a fiver on ebay and there is lots of youtube pics

So I can just wire some cat 5 cable straight from the master too a central point which will then allow me to use everything??

I can't believe you guys are telling him to mess about with the main BT line coming into the house when he is clearly, by his own words, a novice. Makes a mockery of us criticising DIY'ers for playing with their own electrics.
Get BT in, pay the money for a master socket, then you can do what you want after that.

I won't hear a bad word said against BT, only last week did they pull me out the poo, amongst a rather large bunch of old redifusion cables sat a lovely large 40 pair BT incoming supply to a large building, lets just say myself and my fellow spark took a large pair of snips to said cable, not once not twice and not even 3 times but 4 times. It took 2 BT engineers 2 days to sort it not a mention of money a lot of swearing though as it was concentric cable and an absolute nightmare to sort. Red faces all round

Well done lol
