i haev smart broadband for a few months.. eircom came and set up the line for it.. btu the extensions all around my house(rented) werent connected never worked.. so the eircom guy ina very rushed job.. connected one line to the main phone hub in teh kitchen and gave me a long extension cable.. the cable has now worn out.. and come apart due to its length and people walking past it.. does anyone know where i could find someone(not eircom engineer who would take 12 years to arrive) to fix it.... someone who could maybe fix some of the extensions in some of the rooms

seems like an easy job to do but i dont know where to find..

Indeed, look at the DIY forum located here. Otherwise you don't have much of a choice as Eircom don't do it and an electrician might be too expensive.

Yeah, you should do it yourself. Wiring up phone sockets is child's play, only two wires to connect and no electric shock to worry about. I added a phone extension to my parents bedroom when I was about 10, using an old roll of cable left behind by builders.

Whichever 2 wires are connected at the main hub (BLUE and BLUE/WHITE in your case), connect the same 2 wires at the extension end.
