sky broadband is naff anyway, virgin media is unbeatable for internet


thats my internet whilst downloading about 15 torrents and in peak hours

Yup, VM is where it's at for the intertubes. They have great data retention policies and won't release info without court orders either, something sky will hand over merely for the asking.

So i took my kitchen cupboards out and surprise surprise no master socket! literally there is nothing there. I am at a loss now

can you see where the wire enters the property coming through wall inside, there has to be a master socket in the house, i say look in loft

no it looks like its been plastered over

there has to be a master some where, could even be a grey box in the loft where your extensions run from

Still no help, Looked in loft just havent got clue now

do you have any blank socket points on your walls in any rooms, where a socket could be but has a blanking plate on it

no i have aerial socket plates but thats it.

behind the wood that hides the boiler i have 2 but there are just gas pipes behind them

some where that wire that comes into your property will be connected to another wire that connects to your phone point either the one in hall or the one behind your tv, behind a blanking plate or in loft, but you have checked loft, also none of your 3 phone points are masters so it will be somewhere lol.

Am just going round and round in circles, My head is banging off it i really dont know what else i can do now

The only thing I can now suggest, if you don't want to pay bt to sort it, is run a new wire from junction box out side your kitchen through the wall and put new master on, that's what I would do.
But you would lose the phone sockets you have in hall and living room, untill you could find the wire
