A BT engineer replaced my master socket last year for a all in BT Openreach socket. My speed went up to nearly 6.7mbps from 5.
Sadly the filter died about 2 months ago. Ordered a replacement off eBay but whilst it all works and looks the same my speed is never more than 5.6mbps now.
I want to keep the Openreach face plate but can anyone recommend a better clip in filter or a link to the official BT ones that may boost my speed again?

ADSLnation one
http://www.adslnation.com/products/xtespec.php
ADSLnation all now part of Tandy UK
Pressac unit from Clarity.it
(possibly Pressac make the genuine branded BTOR units)
(you need the long screws: the NTE5 units take M3's)

They work on slightly differing principles too complex to explain in a non-tech forum (even if I could remember them myself!) but do basically the same thing

Plzz let us know how you get on with the replace filter face plate, if it makes any difference in speed.

Hoping it can return to 6.7mbps 🙂 Doubt it though but only £12. Been recommended to reset my SNR. Its about 3dB now I think.
