That looks interesting, and quite a nice design.  The large slots that allowed retro fitting over existing wiring and general bulkiness of the old NTE5A with the VDSL plate on are gone. 

I wonder how the NTE5C disconnects the internal wiring when you remove the front plate - are there two rows of contacts in that test socket?

We shall have to wait for them to become available on eBay and then, I'm certain, we'll find out.

An Openreach Engineer would snear at the fact they are being sold on eBay as they are supposed to be exclusive to BTORE's, My only ever Engineers was dumb founded to find an unlocked HG612 and that I purchased a SSFP Mk3 on the internet

Replacing the NTE5 and them knowing it wasn't done by Openreach could equal trouble couldn't it?

Honestly if you take your time and follow instructions Openreach will just think it was one of their flock that installed the NTE5 if you make a bollocks of it then there could be trouble ahead.

As he says above ^^^^^

Or if you do make a mess of it just say Kelly's or Quinn's did the install...

Having seen some Fake Britain reports, I'm doubtful about buying plaything from Ebay sellers. perhaos that's why there are so many speed complaints.

Where can I buy this mates?

I don't think you can yet, and even if you did, you're probably not strictly supposed to install one yourself anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if people started making out to their service provider that they've got some sort of fault, just to get an engineer to fit one for free, because c'mon, you can't expect them to put up with having some inferior outdated antiquated old-style master socket can you? Surely not, not when someone else has a newer one.

I don't see the issue with installing master sockets yourself, as long as its a professional install. I have had two engineers out back when I had a line fault at the pole, and none of them commented on the master socket install, which by the way was moved to a completely different room from the original entry point. So as long as you know what you are doing you will be fine.

Also I am excitedly awaiting for the NTE5C and new (mk4) Filter to become on sale somewhere, I really want to see if there is much improvement in line stats.
