Hi,
I have recently moved into a property which was previously being used for a business.
Along with a dodgy oven, I have inherited an ISDN 2e BT box, which connects to an NTE5 terminal, before being wired all over the house. This line is currently disconnected
In addition I have a standard BT line with separate NTE5, which has been reconnected with no problems and which I am using for broadband.
I understand that fiddling with anything beyond the faceplate of the NTe5 is considered illegal (which is a shame, as the one I am utilising is distinctly yellowed. It does have an old BT logo, but I suspect they won't rebrand for free).
My question is - is it illegal to remove the unwanted ISDN box myself and plaster up the hole, or is this governed by similar law? The lady in the BT call centre has suggested I can just rip this out, but don't think that could be counted on in court and she did seem a little vague about what I was talking about anyway.
Anyone have any experience with removing ISDN lines?

I had an ISDN connection to my home for business use which I then had disconnected when I went over to Broadband. Like you, BT left all their stuff including the new wire that they'd strung from the nearest telephone pole.
I have disconnected the internal box and dumped it, pulled the wires back through the wall and plastered up the resultant mess. The legal position? I have no idea but I used the principle that I wasn't paying BT for a service and they'd left all their rubbish lying around in my house so they clearly didn't want it back.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
