You'd really need to get PhoneWatch or whoever your monitored alarm company is to come out and look at it. The faceplate has some extra circuitry for monitored alarms and they actually reconfigure it slightly by removing some links. So, definitely get onto them as your alarm may not be working either.

Hey Spacetime, again thanks a million for time. I have come to the conclusion that it must be an issue with the extension wiring or perhaps the face plate may need to be replaced? our house is definitely monitored by eircom but the faceplate doesnt look to be too complex in terms of wiring. in fact, id say if I had the 1st idea about this stuff it might be a relatively simple thing. I have attached a photo which might make it a bit clearer.
SpaceTime wrote: » Is that a filtered faceplate? i.e. there's two sockets? If so, ensure that your modem is definitely plugged into the LEFT socket which should be marked with a computer symbol embossed into the plastic above it. The other socket is filtered and will not pass a DSL signal through. ... The wiring in the photo looks probably correct. If you're getting a dial tone on all your extension sockets it should be fine. Also: Are both of those blue pairs feeding extension sockets? If either of them is the incoming line, it should be connected to two terminals BEHIND the test socket. You'll find them if you remove the two screws and (like the type that hold in a light switch plate on either side of the test socket). The incoming line should be connected to the very back of the socket and the extension wiring to the face plate terminals marked L1 and L2.

Basically just connect your extensions to L1 and L2 on the back of the face plate. If it's a filtered face plate, you will only get a DSL signal from the modem socket on the front or, by connecting directly to the line before it enters the NTU socket on the back plate. The filter plates are designed to filter all the attached extensions, assuming they're all connected to the L1 and L2 connectors on the back of the faceplate. If you're using efibre, consider relocating the filter socket to where the modem is being put (use good quality twisted pair cable only : eg CAT5 or 6) You can degrade the signal by complicating the wiring and not filtering at the first connection. Basically Pair 1 : connecting to L1 and L2 on backplate bringing the line in. Pair 2 : connecting to L1 and L2 on back of face plate feeding your extensions. Plug modem directly into the faceplate socket. If that's too complicated, run cat 5 from the back of the socket to the modem. Do not connect any phones to this or use plug in DSL filters. The NTU should be the only filter needed. It's not ideal, eircom won't support it but it might work fine.

I know eircom may not exactly agree with this but if it works I am happy! Thanks again for your help.

What you want is a network(ethernet) extension, NOT a phone extension(for ADSL/VDSL). For 100Mbs ethernet you need 2xpairs, for 1000Mbps you need 4xpairs. You probably dont have 4 spare pairs in the existing run so if about 80Mbps to the garage is enough, take two of those pairs and extend them out to an RJ45 faceplate beside the eircom master socket. Run cat5e from the other end in the attic to another RJ45 faceplate there. Then connect the first faceplace to the back of the modem(ports 1-4) with an ethernet patch and add a wireless AP(router in AP mode) in the garage in the same way. This will give you Eircom---VDSL(eFibre)---Modem--(ethernet)---AP_Garage--(wifi)---Your Devices.

You'll need to move the NTU, You need to redirect it by joining the cables connecting to L1 and L2 on the back plate to the orange pair going to the sitting room. Then you'll need to backfeed from the sitting room on the blue pair by connecting the blue pair the L1 and L2 on the front plate and wiring a single faceplate to the blues where the NTU used to be
