Do you maintain my internal wiring?
Written by KCOM Support on 20/10/2022. Posted in Phone.
When we refer to internal wiring, we're talking about any wires inside your home that connect to your phone socket, or your devices. This could be wiring for extension phone sockets, or wiring to your router.
