The data extension kit is basically a plug-in phone extension with RJ11 plugs, pretty much the exact same as you already have (perhaps a bit higher quality though). You might lose 10-20% of your speed (depending on length and quality of the extension) but it'll probably still be a lot faster than non-Fibre-assisted DSL.

Actually, all three
1) He's already doing this and I see no reason why he can't continue
2) (Correction to myself, it's actually 30m) This is supplied optionally during installation
3) This is what I do.

Ah. Cheers for that. I was sure it was an extension for router not the modem
Still not really doable though as mentioned before. Even if the PTB didn't have a problem with cabling being tacked around the front door and off to the lounge, to get *in* the lounge would require drilling through the lounge doorway somewhere.
Re. extension sockets, though... Everything I've seen (including BT's official info on the BT site) says that you *must* use the master, not an extension.
I have, however, seen posts elsewhere by people saying the OR engineer was able to change an extension socket to be the master somehow. Perhaps that would be a better option.
The master is in the hall, and there are three extension sockets (one in the bedroom and two in the lounge).
It's a while since I opened any of them up, but IIRC they're daisy chained like this: Master > Bedroom extension > Lounge extension 1 > Lounge extension 2.
I can't remember what the cabling is like, though. Given other things I'd wouldn't be surprised if it was cheap and nasty. I may have to open up the master and extension and have a look.
