Phone socket layout question

I'm signing up for broadband soon with PlusNet, but there's something
that bothers me. The master phone socket in my bedroom is wired in to an
extension socket that runs to a master phone socket downstairs which is
a totally different phone number to the master socket in my bedroom. Is
this going to cause me problems.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Should cause you no problems at all - what has happened here is the first
line drops off at the downstairs sockets, the 2nd line you have upstairs
then travels along the six wire cable to upstairs socket. They are quite
seperate I would imagine. This is reasonably normal practice. However it
would be a big bad no-no if you had extension sockets for the downstairs
number, upstairs in the same cable as this would mean that cable would be
carrying BT network and customers own extensions. This is forbidden - but
the good news is, it won't make a s**t's worth of difference to your
broadband working perfectly :-)

The extension socket upstairs does carry the downstairs number in the
same cable. That's how the BT engineer wired it. I don't care as long as
the broadband works. :-)

Anyway, thanks very much for the info.
