ᐅ DSL socket – Did I break the internet connection?

Hello everyone,

Six years ago, I thought the technician from the telecom company installed two DSL sockets. Now I wanted to relocate the Fritz!Box and wondered why there was no internet connection.

I even thought I had broken the internet.

I opened the cover and found that nothing was connected. Can I do something like this myself? Or do I need a technician? Who should I contact?

Basically, you can do something like this yourself.

Are you referring to a TAE telephone socket or a network socket? Or simply put, what exactly do you want to do?

This is a TEA socket.
You should have an NTBA and splitter from the telecom provider.
From this, the line goes to a TAE socket like yours.
You can connect it yourself. You only need a small flathead screwdriver.
Instructions are available online.

What is an NTBA and splitter...? Is that the thing I took a photo of?

He means the parts at the other end of the cable.

If I understand you correctly, you actually have no idea. (Please don’t take offense.) Then just use an electrician you trust.

Oh, I see.

I have DSL in the house, but only in one room.
So I just need to plug the little cables into that outlet box?

No electrician will come to our place just for a socket.

Called around on Saturday.
