| 1342531 | 2013-05-22 00:06:00 | Saw Bill Bennett post that on G+ this morning. Definitely agree with it, wholeheartedly, on both the cabling, the customer wanting everything for nothing, and on the fact more people should be jumping onboard with VDSL2! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1342532 | 2013-05-22 01:27:00 | Hey Chill, this part of the article but remember that your wiring needs to be up to spec to support VDSL2, with a master filter or dedicated xDSL jack point being mandatory. What if you have no control over that part, what can you do? |

| 1342534 | 2013-05-22 03:16:00 | The house is rented, I cannot make major changes to its internals without permission. And I would not want to pay for it on a property I do not own. |

| 1342536 | 2013-05-22 03:49:00 | Well, I'm glad I "maintained" the wiring at my place. Cost nothing, DIY is good that way. The wire was left at another address 2 or 3 years earlier, so in it went. New jack point, disconnect the old pots wiring and voila. It goes well, better than I would ever have expected really. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

No major change is required, at most another jack point on the wall. It's for your own benefit at the end of the day, weather you see the value in it or not is up to you. |

| 1342538 | 2013-05-22 08:55:00 | To clarify for me. If you have a house is it best to put in a new splitter where the wires enter from the street or do you have to get Chorus to do it? Step son is an apprentice sparky so in theory I don't see why we can't do it ourselves. Is this what is called a master splitter? We will be putting in an alarm as well as BB and network cabling the house so I want to get it right |
