two master sockets

[recycleit]

Hi everyone. i am new to the forum so apologize if this has been covered.

My phone line is split before the first socket meaning there are two master sockets. All is working well but just wanted to check if any problems could arise.

Thanks for reading

Most likely not, unless:
(a) You're on a very long line, in which case two master sockets can make the capacitance a little high, and this causes spurious faults including "ring trip" (where it doesn't stop ringing when you pick up the phone, or other ringing related faults)
(b) You're on a reasonably long line and trying to get broadband to work - but often having both sockets wired as a master is actually better rather than worse
(c) You are trying to fit a service specific frontplate for broadband, in which case you obviously won't be able to, unless you reconfigure the wiring into one of the master sockets or just use a filter in the other one anyway - bear in mind that ssfps and filters all have capacitors in and can therefore make the situation worse if you are experiencing ring trip or a hr fault (if you don't have these already, don't worry about them though)
