    Does anyone know the name of the correct/best cable to run from the telephone drop wire at the side of a house, across the front on the exterior and in through the wall to a new master telephone point? I recently got sky broadband and the master/sole tv point is on the wall in a room off to the side of the house. I need to move it and am having a hard time getting a sparks out for such a small job. Thanks

    Telephone cable, you can get 2/3 pair and can get external cable. Any electrical wholesaler should have.

    Alas I tried that but they were the ones who told me to get an electrician out. I’ll just go down to the electric wholesalers and see what they recommend
