BTOR man has broken my NTE5 ?
Weaver:
I did have genuine Pressac NTE5 backs, but how was our man to know that?
They were run-it-direct ones but I don't recall whether or not they had the Openreach branding on them which some of their units do. The only reason I got some of my own in was in case our man only had the new NTE5/C (is it?) curvy backs. Luckily we did not get any earache about it, Mrs Weaver would have said.
Are engineers still running down the old stock?

According to what Black Sheep has mentioned, the new NTE5/C (and thus the new SSFP to fit) will be issued as van-stock once supplies of the NTE5/A (or /B) are exhausted.

Yup. You can't order the older NTE's anymore .............. all we get now is the 'curvy' ones. I suppose it depends how many the engineer has on his van of the old stock ??.

Branded or not they are made by the same manufacturer ;) NTE5's are a licensed design. There is now only one manufacturer supplying BT (silly to have single source IMO but hey, that's their business). There was a company that had their own NTE's made in the d=far east but they got spanked by BT and it cost them thousands. The NTE5C is the only unit engineer will have now.

I meant by this that that was a way that our Openreach man might have been reassured: if the units had the Openreach name on them, but I wasn't expecting them to, as the ones that BT engineers fitted just over six years ago didn't anyway. I didn't mean that I considered them any less ‘genuine’. Just to clear up any possible ambiguity.
