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.

Like I said, the data extension kit is just a plug-in extension. You already have an extension so you already have basically that in place and ready to use. If it's working for ADSL it'll work for VDSL. FTTC works in the same way as the ADSL you already have, it's just faster. If it had to be plugged into the master, an extension wouldn't be possible on either.
That said the recommendation is probably because you need an *unfiltered* extension or at least a filter on the extension before any phones are connected, which would probably make it look like a master socket. Not an ideal solution but again, it'd work.
The best way to tell what the effects of the extension are is probably to plug your ADSL modem into the master temporarily and measure the difference.
