Broadband Only

Hello, as of yesterday I have changed to full fiber to box with no landline, could I ask, do I need a new to fit a new faceplate to Main socket?
I have removed phone line connection and there is only the cable tha runs up to Router, the faceplate is a filltered one by Openreach, would this one be ok?
Regards

It should work just as before. No need to replace it unless it is faulty.

Edit: the above applies if you have just got rid of the land-line - i.e. moved from FTTC to SOGEA. If you have moved to Full Fibre (no copper involved), then bmc's reply below applies.

I'm not cerain I understand the question. If you've moved to Full Fibre then a new cable is installed to a wall mounted ONT, completely bypassing the old copper cable and master socket. The router gets conencted vua an ethernet cable.

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly, sorry fiber to box then wire to house, the face plate is filtered so I thought with phone removed i may have had to fit a new one.
I think I get it now, no new faceplate.

Indeed, no new faceplate required.

There's no change to the way your internet is provided (other than better speeds) - just no phone service so no phone required.

I would remove the filtered faceplate and check that there are no extensions connected, if so, remove them before replacing faceplate.
