As per ejs’s comment, wouldn’t a BT to RJ11, connected to an unfiltered faceplate (or the test socket), do exactly the same job?

Yes, that would work. I have a couple of those leads, stored in "The Grotto", for use when the situation arises.

Indeed, going straight from the test socket to modem is ideal. Just need an old-fashioned BT-plug-to-RJ11 cable for a dial-up modem. I can't find one that is both very high quality and very short at the moment. There’s also the potential problem that Mrs Weaver will say that the end result looks awful.

Run IT Direct started selling them:

As for appearance, I suppose it would look OK with the standard telephone front part of the NTE5C in place.

Engineer came to day to activate the line.

He replaced the whole socket for an NTE5C and dual faceplate. Typical. :lol:

Much better connection that I expected....

Kitizens, is that downstream SNRM high for FTTC? Does that mean the speed will go up in time and the SNRM drop?

No, VDSL2 is capped at 80 Mbps downstream, so it won't go any higher.

No ..... it just means the circuit is a relatively short one, and as such doesn't need to utilise as much margin.

The blue is the result of an error somewhere. Could you copy the pbParams data here please (Telnet Data --> pbParams).

Thanks, I can see the problem now. The U0 band isn't used at all, so DSLstats is getting the band allocation wrong. I'll look into this, but in the meantime it only affects the colours of the graphs, not any of the actual displayed data.

Cheers for the clarification, As it was a brand new line on a G.Fast enabled cab I wasn't sure if it was something to do with that or not.

I shall second Weaver's advice and add that you should source a Mk 3 SSFP.

why not a MK4 faceplate? as those seem to be the current version.
is there a reason why the MK3 would still be the preferred option?

The fashionable opinion is that the NTE5C is crap. And the master socket was an NTE5A at the start of the thread, so a MK3 would fit that master socket.
