I'm not sure if this is the right forum, feel free to move it if it's in the wrong place.
We have BT Infinity broadband, the master socket and the Openworld box is in the hall downstairs. I need a hard wire connection upstairs for my PC and TV. I think i've got 2 options, the first one is to run a Cat6 cable from the Openworld box, up the corner of the hall and into the landing above then run it along the joists to the room where it needs to go. Because of the way the joists run i would need to drill small holes in each of the joists fairly close to the edge of them, is that safe to do, would it affect the joists strength and integrity ?
The other option i guess is to ask BT if they will move the whole lot from the wall downstairs to upstairs.
Any advice would be appreciated.
