Hi,
Just wanted to confirm that I don't need a master splitter in a house with 1 phone jack?
Thanks.

toejam316: Odds are that you'll get better VDSL performance regardless, as unless you're in a newer house, the internal wiring won't be twisted to the spec for carrying a VDSL signal, and I've seen comparatives of RJ45 vs BT jackpoints and it actually makes a notable difference to line speeds.

Oh oh im interested in this info, you dont happen to have a link to anything ???
Nothing off hand - just knowledge gleaned from my time in the industry.
As I understand it VDSL depends heavily on a specific twist rate (not dissimilar to that in CAT5e or CAT6 cabling), and as such we have changed to using a different style of jumper wire, and all new cable installed is VDSL certified cable.
RJ45 is a similar thing - an RJ45 CAT6 patch is designed to carry the twisted signal, the BT plug isn't. In the end it's mostly anecdotal evidence - I've seen it make a difference, to the point where type of jack point impacts on if DSL does or doesn't work in extremely long pairs.
