Master socket needs upgrading

Hi all,
My connection is very intermittent. I have a very old master socket which has seen better days.
How do I go about getting a new one? Does Plusnet contact BT on my behalf? Is there a fee?
Thanks

@cobb1es Are you sure it is the socket at fault? Which product are you on, and which router are you using?
What are the symptoms of your issue?

Have you checked to see if there's a line fault?

If one is identified you could get an engineer out who "might" tidy up your connection.

The photos show a Junction Box.
This is a Master Socket

@cobb1es Who set this up? As @PhilipHeyes says, that is not a master socket, and whoever set it up was, to say the least, very unprofessional.
Personally, I would report a fault as suggested above, and talk nice to the engineer if/when they come, to get the connection regularised.
