My uncles house: Line comes in upstairs, newish Nte5c/Mk4 fitted there, 2 voice extensions run from that. He just bought bb and the extension downstairs wont run the bb (understood as hes trying to run it off an old style extension with a plug in filter). The A and B on the front are a filtered ADSL/VDSL signal. Add another filter downstream of these and the signal will disappear. Use professional-quality telephone cable (from…guess where..?). This will have solid cores (not braided, that is, made up of tiny strands crushed together). It will also have a “twist” in the pairs of cable, a bit like a hair plait. This feature means you lose less of the signal as it travels down the cable. This is also available on-line. This is more important than it seems, trust me. I’ve blogged about it here . Run Your Cable!

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?If you are two miles from an exchange or FTTC cabinet, then it won’t move you closer. You will always suffer from slow speeds. Likewise, if there is a fault the Openreach network, or in your property, it won’t overcome it. I know you’re probably think just get wireless phones off the new NTE5C/VDSL MK4 but i do like the current phones i have But if you are in the mood to change your old NTE5, then it won’t do any harm. The whole broadband thing constantly amazes me. I’m astounded that it ever works at all. I would suggest getting one. I can even fit it for you (or find someone local who can) if you get in touch! ! One can connect the ATA voice signals to the home telephone wiring, but it means some modifications

Assumptions in situations like this can often be wrong! Cablers route the cables to their convenience! Two components need to be removed, and it's recommended to remove a third one. The components to remove are labelled PS1 and PS2 on the circuit board - they may be orange in colour, and can be removed by desoldering or mechanical destruction. 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!
As far as I know, yes. But it is best to treat them separately. Use A and B for broadband, 2 and 5 for voice. That’s the point of having A and B.

Openreach out again – apparently last engineer did not crimp the pairs properly – new down lead, line reset, 39 mbps. The master does nothing to affect REN. Additional phones should be fine until you run out of ringing current from the line supply. REN is not such a critical issue as it used to be, as many folks used cordless base stations with their own power supply to power the ring function.IF I take a wire from the A&B which is on the inside of the faceplate and take that to an extension point. Does it carry both voice and data. Yes. But the “faceplate” filters tend to be of a higher spec.and are more reliable than the dangle ones. I have replaced some dangle ones and seen a marked increase in speed. It actually took quite some effort to break the old-style punch-down connectors of a good-quality NTE5. The new wire termination points may be tool-less, but once you’ve broken one (and it won’t be hard), you can throw the whole unit away.
Great Deal
