Vission stream won't even touch a "patch" cable that is hanging outside of a wall or on a modular plug.. besides a New home doesn't need a Central splitter, they are a mechcanical device to fix bad internal wiring in an old house. having a gifted cabler design and install your cabling is the best suggestion I can ever make Kodiak Data Cabling onFaceBook Consult*, Design and Installation Data, TV, Home Theatre/ AV Cabling, Multi Room Audio, IP CCTV and Door Intercoms Ask for a Quote. *DIY DATA Cabling Is Ilegal Re: Easier telephone/ADSL cabling options 5Oct 05, 2010 12:43 am Definition of 'outside'.... poking out of my homes external wall, below the meter box. Understand.... What got me thinking about this initially is that my neighbours had their internal wiring done last week. They have a CAT5/CAT6 cable hanging outside of their home, below the meter box ready for Visionstream to connect to the Network. How much - ball park - would I be looking at to install two POTS points in the home, one in the utility cupboard for the ADSL 2+, the other in the study for POTS. Both approx 10 meters from the meter box?

I'll get my installer to use CAT6 for ALL the cabling - it's just two points for the phone - and obviously for all the data points. Thanks again. Thanks for the reply.
