NTE5 ADSL faceplate?
Robert
directly to an NTE5 and gives both filtered telephone socket + ADSL socket.
Does anyone know where the best place is to buy one in the UK?
Is there just one type of these, or are there many?
As I said already, I am looking for good quality, not cheap and cheerful.
Thanks a lot

there are a few.
www.clarity.it sell one like the original BT item, its rounded profile
and fits the lower half of the socket.
www.adslnation.com have put their own filter design into a faceplate
that has an angular shape covering the whole of the socket faceplate.
There are "modified" designs with ADSL-only extensions, and "original"
designs with connections only for filtered (voice) extensions.

Has anyone got anything good to say about the ADSL Nation faceplate? I have
a ADSL Nation plug in filter here, that I purchased to try and improve
things here and it made things worse. In short it wasn't as good as the one
that came with the router (DG834G).

I have installed three of them with complete success. The design is superior
to most others. Are you sure you did not get a faulty one. The other thing
is did you check using the test socket behind the faceplate?

occasionally you get interactions with other filters on the system but
in general I've found the ADSLnation filters to be good.
That doesn't mean I don't try others (esp if cheaper) to see if they
give the same or better SNR etc.

extension using BT Specification CW1308 cable.
The extension is only about 5m away straight up from the master socket and
not in proximity to any power cables.
To say that I am satisfied is an under statement.
I was previously using the Speedtouch filters supplied with the modem
My SNR margin has increased by 8 db and my download speed has increased by
c. 800 - 900 Kbps.

I always have them in the back of my car, immediate solution to 80% of
customer adsl loss of sync issues......
I have come across people who have had broadband for months, and not being
able to use it, yet the ISP insists the line is not faulty, and that they
carry on paying their subscription.
Five mins later, and a big grin on their face!!

Hi,
All my internal phone extensions were provided by BT about 20 years
ago.
I read somewhere that it was advisable to wire extensions with CAT
cable.
I don't mind doing that but have I much to gain?
I recently cancelled Sky Broadband during my 8 trial period because I
was only getting about 9 Mb and frequent connection problems.
Connecting to the master socket showed a vast improvement which
together with comments I received on the router statistics suggested
that I had problems with the extension wiring.
So I am going to stay with NTL at £10 pm for 10 Mb for the next year
and prepare for a move to Shy Broadband then and in the meantime get
my wiring sorted.
I intend to provide a new faceplate but is providing CAt cable a good
thing to do if it is only replacing 20 year old cable provided
originally by BT?

I'd say that replacing the wiring, after 20 years, would be worthwhile.
Office blocks use CAT5 (or better) cable for data and telephones, so
they don't have to worry about using the wrong sort of wire: what's in
the cable ducting is the same. They also do expensive stuff to make
maintenance easy and cheap.
CAT5 specification includes rules on cable bends and the proximity to AC
mains. Following such rules will also help line quality. 20 years ago,
BT were not worrying about ADSL frequencies. 20 years ago, Ethernet
would have been on coaxial cable.

Looking at
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=cat%20cable&source=15&SD=Y
gives quite a choice.
Would Cat 5e Network Cable UTP Solid at 69p /m be as good a choice as
any for the extensins, all of which go around the outside of the house
is out the door frame from the master socket, around the outside walls
and in through the appropriate window frames.
