I have a NowTV box,when the engineer came out to fix it last week-I live in a complex of flats-he said the BT phoneline from my flat-plus all the other flats-ran to a junction box/cabinet about 20ft from the building and that shortish cable length THEN connected to Virgin broadband cable for those in the building using it.He said BT would not replace that old phoneline with a new one due to expense.I`m a bit of a Luddite so please excuse the ignorance but does that mean even if I had Virgin broadband fitted that the part of the cable that runs into the complex-the BT cable-would be joined onto it ?
Thanks....Mr Stuck-in the 1970`s.
