Those were the days when we were tethered to where the Phone socket was. And before cordless phones we even had to be where the phone was wired to make a call.

Before I upgraded to full fibre I was annoyed where our main master socket was, as it was the opposite end of the hall to the plug sockets. So I moved it and rewired it. My wife panicked when I cut the wire. Quite funny. No different to wiring Ethernet. I then moved the plug sockets ready for the perfect place when I ordered fibre. I know not many can do that, but very useful if you can and saves a lot of money.
