Share photos of your master sockets.

Heres mine, socket 2 awaiting a new MK3 filter, hence why it currently looks like that...

Very curious as to what that (junction?) box does?

If you start to read from post no. 60 to post no. 69 of CT's earlier thread all should become clear.

Attached, below, is a poor-quality picture of the NTE5 (one of the original design, with Beattie's big T in a circle logo) plus a NTE2005 centralised filter that is installed in The Cattery.

I would recommend a new SSFP for you, burakkucat. It might eek a few more Kilobits out of your line

Thanks for the suggestion. As it is just an ADSL2 (not 2+) service, I can't summon up enough energy to swap either a Mk2 or Mk3 SSFP for the NTE2005 currently installed.

I do have a MK2 SSFP available (currently unused) should you want it?

A kind gesture, for which I offer my thanks, but I already have both a Mk2 and a Mk3 in the grotto.

Here's my master socket:


And here's where it and the extension socket are star wired to the incoming line:

There's a second (no longer used) voice line in that lot, and there used to be 3 sockets but one of them is no longer connected. And no, the white cable in one photo is not the cream cable in the other, there's also a joint in the cabling to the master.

This is how master sockets look now...

[Black Sheep]

It looks ...... err ...... ok, and not service affecting in any way ......... but I'm certain I could have made that a more aesthetically pleasing installation. In fact, I'm damned sure I could.

What would you do differently?

[Black Sheep]

Have the sockets nearer the skirting board, and just have the dropwire (the black wire) go direct into one back-box with enough inner wiring for it to reach through to provide service to the second socket. Far, far neater.
