Can anyone help me identify these sockets?

A question about : Can anyone help me identify these sockets?

I'm about to embark on a complete refurb of a small recently purchased victorian terrace.

Ahead of having electricians quote on re-configuring the layout of our power sockets, i'd like to get my head round what all the other inherited sockets currently in the house are for.

Any idea what socket is what on the image?

And can i move any of them to a different location whilst we're reconfiguring the power socket layout?

I have damp specialists coming in to treat that whole window bay area and they'll need to rip out all the plaster work around those sockets anyway and re-render after treatment.

Is it now the time to move them?

Best answers:

• At a Guess, i would say A is some kind of extension, probably another phone socket somewhere else.
  B would be the BT land line.
  C is an ntl/cable line.
  D im not sure about (could be satellite but cant really tell from the picture)
  E is the cable point for BB/TV.
  i assume the house is currently using the BT line, so the C and E would be deactive
• To see which one is live you could plug a phone into them and see if you get a tone.
  if you havn't used them its possible neither is live.
  weather you should keep them or not would depend on what you plan to get, if you have no plans to use virgin cable then you could get rid of them. You will just need the BT phone point for using with BT Infinity, you could get the BT Engineer to relocate the master socket, but this may cost you. The extension you wont need, and would probably cause some trouble for the BB anyways
• If you have access to cable, using ADSL broadband is really shooting yourself in the foot. Cable BB is invariably superior in both speed, contention rates and free maintenance.
• From my experience, and without a clearer photo, I'd say:
  A: Extension - Kind you'd buy in Argos.
  B: Might be a BT socket. Just as likely could be an extension. All BT sockets that are officially installed by a BT Openreach engineer will have some branding in the top left. Unless they are very, very old. Then they look like a small white box with a slot in the middle.
  C: Looks like it says NTL, but it looks exactly like an NTE 5, which would be a BT master socket.
  D: Looks like Sky. Virgin tend to tidy away their drilling behind their huge faceplates.
  E: Looks like the entry point for cable.
