Can the telephone drop wire (the wire that comes into my house
from
outside) be temporarily disconnected, without causing anything
undesirable
to happen to the telephone system?

I want to re-route the path that the drop wire takes as it comes
into my
house, and this requires disconnecting it so it can be threaded
through a
different path.

Regards.


Many thanks to all for the really helpful information. It is much
appreciated: I can have a go at the job now and expect it to be
successful.

Regards

Cycle.



You ain't supposed to do it, but nothing horrid (technically) will
happen if you do. But if BT catch you they will probably flog you to
death with a wet lettuce !
