That's good to hear. Thanks for feedback. They look simple to install. Push down clip.

Re: NTE5C?

Had a similar one fitted recently; the plastic bag says it is a

NTE5c MK2/VDSL Frontplate MK4 combined unit.

It gives a much improved download speed.

Re: NTE5C?

Have a read of this thread

http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/fibre/4532655-new-mk4-faceplate.html?fpart=all

 

The general consensus is they're cheap tat and not worth 'upgrading' from older NTE5s

Re: NTE5C?

It's just the outer case is a bit flimsy due to it being a push on/ off fit.
Them guys in the forum had a problem with line so its not a quick fix its not going to increase speed or a previous fault. Just there for stability it has a updated Rein filter and RF filter.
Excellent!

Re: NTE5C?

So the NTE5C socket and Mk4 front pre filtered faceplate is a good combination to use.

Re: NTE5C?

The "telephone engineer" in the link from the 1st post seems rather clueless!

This is fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) VDSL. I have seen this perform at almost 60Mb download. Astonishing!

Funny

It seems like Openreach want to get users to install the BT Openreach New NTE5C Master Socket themselves!

The master socket is Openreach's demarcation point and not to be touched by us mere mortals.

Re: NTE5C?

I think BT want people to do their own wiring for extension sockets.

Except that almost everyone wouldn't wire into the socket (assuming they didn't use DECT). Cheesy
