Last month I moved in to a new house, brand new floor, wiring, kitchen, ceiling etc. essentially everything was replaced. Problem is, there is no master socket installed, but there is a cable coming in along the wall from the outside, that looks like phone/Ethernet cable
I have been trying to get the internet provider (TalkTalk) to come in and connect the broadband, however for whatever reason their engineers don't show up
After fourth call to their customer service, this time they told me that they need to book open reach to install master socket and it will probably take another 10 days and will cost me £140 to get it installed.
As this is rented property I will just pass the fee to landlord, but in the mean time I don't want to wait another 10 days, as been already 5 weeks and maybe I could install it myself temporarily.
Problem is, the wiring looks completed different from what I could find on the internet and after trying to plug in a few different combination I'm a bit lost.
I attached a photo of the available cables.
There is another cable available on the side, but from what I understand is suppose link other Ethernet boxes in the house (there is like 5 of them)
