Dead Phone Wiring

For the last few days my ADSL service at home has been a little flaky. Over the weekend it, along with the phone line shuddered to a standstill. I've had to move the router into the living room to shorten the phone wiring. That means I now have to run the network over the household wiring back to the office where the computers live. That means I can't use the domestic wiring to get the network to my notebook, but seeing as I now have working WiFi that's not so bad.

I'll have to call BT and get them to fix the BT master socket which seems to be where some of my problems lie. I have a long history with BT, they are not my favourite monopoly... Then I've got to replace the twisted pair cable to the office.
