To be honest, £199 for a chunk of plastic is a bit rediculous...

No wonder they don't want people fitting them themselves  :no:

I may consider adding my own "legally"...

That is why I would DIY.

They are way to expensive.

I would bet if they even found out and you got fined it would be less than the charge, but I don't know of anyone ever being done for it.

I will have to think about it... A cheap DIY option could turn into a very expensive fine...

Hi

that is YOUR prerogative.

I do not believe that as a responsible site providing help , we should be recommending any form of conduct that could lead to prosecution or fines

1.  Hear hear Jeff!

2.   If the IDC terminals have been stretched then there is every chance that the line will crackle.
If there is the slightest noise on the line report it as a phone fault and I suspect that BT Openreach will fit a new NTE socket free of charge.

3.  If the modem is to be connected anywhere other than the master socket you can fit an ADSL Nation faceplate which contains two sets of terminals for ADSL and phone. Alternatively you can buy screened RJ11 leads of almost any length from ADSL Nation.

Kind regards,
Walter

I have to say I am with Walter and Jeff, doing something against the terms is something I am not comfortable with.

As for the line quality its crystal clear... Since removing one of the extensions the sync is to 8064kbps with 7dB SNR so its doing something.

I will work on replacing the extension for the router today and then see how it does then.

Well the wiring has been done.

Still getting my evenings outbreak of noise though...  :-[

Seems the connection is coping with it ok though...

8000kbps Sync with 7dB SNR (1dB spare) when no noise... looses the 1dB spare in the evenings.

Hey guys I'm new here. I was wanting to get an nte5 fitted and was worried BT would charge a fortune and leave me with an external nte or something, I knew there was an Openreach engineer in my road and caught them coming out from their van. I explained that I wanted my LJU2/1A replaced with a NTE5 and she said if I called up and asked it'd be about £200 or free if I had a fault, she said she wished she got paid the call out charge and said I'd be better off doing it myself If I felt competant to do it and gave me a NTE5 (she said they only cost about 5 pence). I said I'd read that I couldn't interfere with BT wiring and asked if I could pay her cash in hand to fit it at her convenience, so we swapped numbers and she said she could come round Monday evening.

Before phoning BT try to find an engineer in the street, the lady I was talking to was going to a union meeting, BT workers are planning to strike, so they'll probably be more likely to take £20-30 cash in hand for a 10 minute job in their own time.
