We've switched phone from Virgin to Sky/BT, we've got socket V (Virgin)
in living room, which works & connects to the extension upstairs plus a
second socket B (BT) at the opposite end of the room which has now been
activated and is working. The two sockets B and V have a cable running
between them, but this has been disconnected at the V socket by the
Virgin bloke, and he's connected 2 Virgin wires inside the box.
Basically, it was all BT at some point, but Virgin appropriated this BT
socket for their own line which comes through the wall from outside.

Now I'm trying to rewire socket V to get rid of Virgin phone line and
connect this socket via the existing cabling to the working BT socket,
but obviously the insides of the boxes are different, and I don't know
how many wires I need to connect, and which ones. It only has 2 wires
connected at present to the terminal with 3 connectors; (the Virgin line
is a white wire with green dashes and a green wire with white dashes
with the middle one empty), but trying the same 2 colours from the BT
line doesn't work. The sockets are different so even the terminal
numbers don't correspond.

Does anyone know what goes where, or can point me in the direction of a
guide please? All I know is that it *used* to work fine until Virgin
came along and buggered with it.


Call Virgin and tell them you're not paying their bill until they
correct the fault their workman caused?

There'll be a BT expert along shortly, no doubt.
