It's worth getting it professionally done, as a bad join can make quite a bit of difference. For the cost, it's worth just paying somebody to do it IMO. |

| 1326572 | 2013-02-05 06:50:00 | Hi all, I need a master filter and I want to install myself to save a few dollars. Can anyone direct me with idiot proof instructions? Here is a pic of the wiring in the telecom box on the outside of the house looks like and the the other pick is the master filter. i50.tinypic.com www.trademe.co.nz Thanks From what I understand you are not allowed in that box assuming it is one of those with security screws. You need to do it where it actually enters the house inside. |

| 1326574 | 2013-02-05 10:27:00 | The "box" (it's called an ETP - external termination point) might be chorus owned in theory, but it's on your property and attached to your house so they can't really stop you doing what you like to it. The only risk you take is being charged for a future fault repair if they decide you caused it yourself. In any case it is the correct place to install the filter and it's where chorus would have it installed if you paid them to do it. I wired my own house, but I do have experience with it from my days as a telecom tech. It's pretty easy if you use the proper grease filled crimp connectors.

| 1326578 | 2013-02-08 03:15:00 | I just had the worst job to install a master splitter! 5 hours later.... The job took so long because, after trying all 3 spare pairs in the CAT5 cable I couldn't get the broadband signal from the first phone jack to where I wanted it. First thought the problem was another phone jack somewhere and did find one eventually behind a built in book case. Rewired this but still couldn't get it going. Eventually traced the fault to one run of the CAT5 cable as it had been crushed by staples in the roof! Surprised the phone/internet was working at all. Never use staples to hold a CAT5/6 cable! Had to run a new cable inside the roof which was about 60 degrees! |
