going to give Bt another ring tomorrow and see what i can blag! might tell them that there original overhead "Temp" line is not inkeeping with architects plans and needs to be connected to underground duct like every other house on estate!

only reason i have overhead line is due to my house been sales office/show house!

you could pull it down,after all the supply to the master socket is bt's responsibility.. oh and tell them its an alarm line and they are leaving you vunerable to attack..
