Much improved, although they went with really expensive 110 patches for the phone. Thats probably the ideal solution, and allows you to plug those phone patches into a Cat5e RJ45 splitter to share phone/data at any jackpoint as needed. Looks like a plastic comms cabinet so why not tie in the modem to there, it shouldn't block the wifi unless its just the wrong part of the house.

I would be willing to help out your sparkie if hes interested in hiring a data guy...

coffeebaron: I visited Shelly yesterday and got her all sorted. Terminated the green DSL pair directly onto a spare RJ45 port at the end of the patch panel, and labeled DSL. Can now plug ADSL router directly in easily at the patch panel, and with a patch lead can redirect it to any port in the house in future if she wants too (though cupboard is the best place for it I think).

I was going to suggest that, its the sensible way although would be good to have a test disconnect too. Must have felt good to finally have it completed reasonably well.
