To achieve the fastest Broadband speed possible that your telephone line can support, it is vital to upgrade your BT Infinity Master Socket to a BT NTE5. Furthermore, ensure that you fit the latest vDSL Faceplate which includes an integral Broadband filter. Following these steps can transform your Internet experience. Release your telephone line’s full potential by preventing existing extension socket wiring from slowing your connection speed.
BT Master Socket with a vDSL Faceplate
In your property you may have old telephone wiring that’s been added to over the years. Extension sockets in various rooms, all spurred off of the main incoming telephone line. High Speed Fibre Broadband can be compromised by ‘Star Wiring’ which connects extension sockets together. ‘Star Wiring’ creates unwanted reflections of the Broadband signal. Therefore, by fitting a filtered vDSL Faceplate you will ensure full Broadband speed.
Upgrade your Master Socket - 3 easy steps to follow
1. Firstly, ensure that the Router is situated in the same vicinity as the NTE5 BT Infinity Master Socket.
2. Secondly, check that the extension wiring in your house is fed from the removable front panel of the vDSL faceplate.
3. Finally, you can fit the vDSL Faceplate which has a built in filter. This will act as a ‘buffer’ between the incoming line that feeds the router, and extension wiring that potentially can pick up interference from the mains electrical wiring. Any electrical noise generated around your home will interfere with the high speed data, therefore fitting the faceplate reduces the risk of this happening
