About this deal

Hi -trying to move master skt from windowsill to inner wall with power skts. Bought phone and modem skt components etc (have some cat5 cable already) but when i took off the master skt adsl plate expecting to find extension terminals, theres none. Plus one BT cable goes to terminals A & B and a 2nd cable from BT goes into the phone plate. Whats that all about and can i still extend phone and adsl from a&b terminals or can ibuy the adsl faceplate with the extension terminals separately? Many thanks jonathan. Reply No problem. This stuff is known to slow broadband signals down, as the conductors are parallel, not twisted. Openreach won’t replace it as a matter of routine replacement of obsolete infrastructure. However, in extreme cases, it has been known to “mysteriously fall down of it’s own accord” in the middle of the night, requiring replacement ;-). I have a question though. So, I bought this new house and it had no master box (or was removed with wires disconnected).

OR engineer was in today to deal with a noisy line. First thing he did was to rip out my NTE5 /VDSL faceplate master and replace it with a NTE5C without the filtered faceplate/RJ11.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. I know very little about what goes in the cabinets. However, up to 300m seems to be the optimum – I have witnessed the highest speeds at this distance. https://community.plus.net/t5/Fibre-Broadband/Anyone-with-a-BT-Openreach-NTE5C-Mk4-Faceplate-should-change/td-p/1687208 I often compare VDSL/ADSL as like two tuning forks, one at each end of the circuit, resonating in unison, and data travelling down the “note” that they strike. If they are in harmony, I wouldn’t consider disturbing them!

However not wanting to break the law !! I will go down the route you have described as theoretically the old BT NTE5 will still act as a junction box anyway? How to switch/migrate broadband supplier and details of the core underlying switching processes that are used.) In BT terminology, Voice Reinjection is the way to route voice signals from a VoIP service onto the existing home telephone wiring.Latest version that features the filter on the bell wire circuit for IMPROVED ADSL/vDSL performance & WITHOUT 26A surge arrestor which can further IMPROVE ADSL/vDSL speeds! The loss over Cat 6 will be negligible. Cat 5 can run at good speeds up to 90M between devices if installed correctly, and Cat 6 will better that. You may struggle to get the cable terminated in a RJ11 plug, though! It’s designed to go into an RJ45 plug. Reply The cable looks of a good specification, and appears to have sold well, so I’m puzzled as to why it doesn’t work.

Personally, knowing what broadband runs over to get to a property, then what it has to cope with once there, I’m amazed that it ever works at all. Is “PN” Plusnet? Generally, I’ve found them to be one of the better ISPs from the customer service side. I have had them adjust line management setting for a customer whilst I’ve been on the phone to them in the past, to some success. Reply Now, I want to extend the connection to my data cabinet. I have one Cat6 cable so there are enough cores to connect filtered voice and filtered data signals but I have to land the cable in one outlet (as only one cable) but my question is how and where do I terminate on the data cabinet? I don’t seem to find a normal faceplate with one telephone and one RJ11 /RJ45 outlet. So how do I proceed? Please advise. A and B” on the customer side are only installed on the Mk3 and later face-plates. The earlier ones only have 2,3, and 5 on the customer side. No. That original master needs to remain as the boundary between your premises cabling and their network, via the detachable frontplate. If you’ve ever had to deal with a persistent line noise problem (and dispute), believe me, it’s vital to have that demarcation point. Remove the front plate and you can prove that the problem is on Openreach’s side in seconds. Won’t A Joint Do?Now, I want to extend the connection to my data cabinet. I have one Cat6 cable so there are enough cores to connect filtered voice and filtered data signals but I have to land the cable in one outlet (as only one cable) but my question is how and where do I terminate on the data cabinet? I don’t seem to find a normal faceplate with one telephone and one RJ11 /RJ45 outlet. So how do I proceed? This is currently a topic under discussion on an engineer’s forum, and the consensus is that the 2 and 5 pins on the faceplate (which serve extensions) will not give an ADSL signal to the extension. However, the “A” and “B”, will. Therefore moving the master to where the current extension is and extending the wiring (“crimping through” in old-school BT-speak) is a viable alternative (providing that there is nothing else between it and the Openreach network). The location of the old master can then be made an extension from the new master, or simply be blanked off. Get their tea/coffee preference and specification correct, and buy premium biscuits. Make sure they have room to get at everything. You may get a kindly one who will fit one. On the other hand, they should fit one as a test point to their network anyway. I have plenty of unshielded Cat 6 network cable available, which is solid copper and has four twisted pairs.

Thanks for this information. Pretty much exactly what I was looking for but there is one small detail that I wanted to clarify and I wanted to see if I had you right in principle…When I moved in, I just went with previous (TalkTalk) as was just a case of connecting router myself.
