Is it possible?
Recently upgraded skybroadband to a faster one, which came with a new line. The new line goes into a different room than it was and we had to move the sky hub to a bedroom instead of the living room. Which also means the phone is now in the bedroom as well.
I'm just wondering if its possible to connect the phone base station to an ethernet switch thats in the living room without having the phone base station in the bedroom.

For an ethernet phone distribution you'd need IP handset / basestation hardware and a subscription to a 'real' VOIP service provider (not ISP-provided VOIP from a 'phone' socket on their own router).
