There is one residual problem I need you to advise about -

On the day I moved in The BT engineer arrived before the furniture.
The old hub got plugged into a socket near the floor and a heavy bookcase, with my TV atop it, now prevents access to unplug it. I tried using that same power supply lead for the new hub but it didn't fit.

So the old useless power supply is still plugged in doing nothing and its cord is dangling over the front of the bookcase. Paranoic (as I am) I think 'that cable and its little metal end are live'.
Is this a risk- fire or electric shock?
No, you have nothing to fear.

Unless...

No, really, don't worry about it. Just get someone to unplug it next time you have a visitor.
