Can I connect my home alarm system to a broadband enabled telephone line?

Yes providing you consider the following points.

In the case of standard ADSL based home broadband you will need to treat the alarm just as you would any other device connected to the voice side of the circuit. That is you will have to filter it, in the event that you are not able to plug it directly into a filter you will need to have an in line filter fitted.

Alternatively you may be able to have your home telephone & broadband wiring re-configured with a centralised filter face plate at the NTE5 master socket.

If you have already converted to fibre based broadband, providing that your wiring conversion has been carried out in a technically correct way things should be really simple. This is because are part of the fibre installation you will generally have a new central filter master face plate fitted. However it is vital that you do not connect any equipment on the un-filtered side of your service as this will effect your high speed broadband connection.

All of the above work can be carried out by Burytec, inclusive of any required additional wiring corrections.

My phone sockect stopped working after my infinity fibre optic broadband installation, can Burytec help?

More often than not the Openreach engineer will actually de-commission your extension wiring in order to simplify & reduce the time required to get your installation working at optimum levels. Burytec are able to allocate you the correct amount of time to reconfigure or install any supplementary wiring required for your high speed fibre optic broadband service to work with your phone socket requirements.

How can tell if a telephone line fault is my responsibility or my service provider's responsibility?

In theory this should be a simple case of carefully removing the lower front plate of your master socket. This should disconnect all internal wiring & reveal full access to a test socket. In the event that you have no dial tone or a bad line here, this would normally indicate a supply side fault.

It's also worth while ensuring that no damage to the supply side wiring has been done by you or anybody working at your property. (Builders, gardeners, painters etc)
Ensure that dampness is not the route cause.

 

 

Will BT charge me for repairing my fault?
