Thanks Guys, yes well I do work in IT but I dont think I coudl fit up into the roof nor do i have a clue when it comes to running these cables. But in terms of crimping cables and all that I can do and have done in the past. I have also run extension cables around the house by pinning them to the skirting boards etc, but thats not tidy and the wife will not like it. I was quoted like about 100-150 for just the extra telephone socket. I thougt given the two points are exctly the same run I also want to run a UTP it could be done at the same time as the socket. Its just running two cables insted of one.
Using a extender I dont think will work because I want to put a ADSL2 modem on it and I am not sure the extender will work with this, I think it might degrade the signal to allow sync.
The only tough one is running the cable from the upsatairs tot he downstairs link but it is down a external wall, and I have Satelite Coax running down the same wall so that could be pulled up and used to bring the UTP down. I would estiamte all up about 2hours work max 3. And I can assist.
Estimate about 70m of UTP (2point per run) and 15m of Telephone cable. Plus wall plates etc.
Regards
Fahim
