Telephone extension

[steamvalve]

Not sure if this is in the right area - but maybe someone will help me anyway. Years ago I installed a telephone extension point from downstairs to an upstairs bedroom from the main box as it enters the house from outside. I now need another extension to my study from the bedroom for a modem connection. Will it be OK to create this new extension from my bedroom extension (an extension off and extension) or do I have to go back to the main house box? Maybe I need a booster or something? Any advice would be much appreciated.

an extension off the extension will be fine.

Just don't end up with too many cables at one point... Not so much of a problem if your sockets have screw terminals, but the punch-down IDC connectors are only designed to take two wires each.

If you are using an ADSL broadband service connecting everything in a 'star' from one central point can limit speeds because of unwanted signal reflections.
They are probably happiest with everything daisy chained eg Master socket - Socket 2 - Socket 3 - Socket 4 etc.
