Some have a BT logo, others are plain (both are the same product) - IMPROVES BROADBAND SPEED AND RELIABILITY* (*although not guaranteed to be any different, we have generally found a noticable increase & less drop of broadband in poor signal areas) - It replaces the lower half of the BT NTE5a or NTE5b master socket and provides two outlets on the faceplate, one is an RJ11 socket (wired “straight through”, unfiltered) for the connection of ADSL modems, the other is a BT 431A socket which is filtered for the connection of telephony equipment. - Saves putting a filter on every socket, only 1 is needed - you need to cable from this socket to the computer separately - Compatible with caller display (doesn’t strip out the caller ID information) - Tested by BT to SIN issue 2.2 ## Images ![BT Telephone ADSL Broadband Faceplate Filter Adaptor (Centralised Filter/Splitter) - fits front panel of BT NTE5a / NTE5 b Master Socket - IMPROVES BROADBAND SPEED & RELIABILITY* - made in UK (As fitted by BT) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PDJeEnG3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BT are useless! Just get one of these. 35mb to 65mb in 3 minutes. *by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2016* I paid for infinity broadband in November 2015. I chose option 2 up to 76mb. For 2 months I had been receiving 30-35mb. This is fast but not what I was paying for. My guaranteed minimum line at signup was 46mb. I started to persist with BT to either fix the line or lower my payments for Infinity option 1 which is up to 38mb.BT logged a fault and sent a telephone engineer to resolve my broadband problem. They also tried to charge me £129.99 which is just laughable. The telephone engineer arrived on time; he tested the line and said there were no faults. I asked him to tell me the fastest the line could go and he replied with the amount I'd been getting which was 35mb max as the line had no fault. He briefly mentioned that there was ’something else’ I could use that might improve the speed but not too much in his opinion. I called BT support with this information.I explained what the engineer had said about the max speed and the minimum I was guaranteed. Support reacted as if they didn’t know what I was talking about. Maybe they didn't but it's clear on their website. Search 'minimum guaranteed line BT' in Google.I asked the advisor if I could pay the rate of Infinity 1. They advised they couldn't downgrade me but then placed in a different department. This department agreed to downgrade me but it would cost £21.20 per month as opposed to the current 'new customer' rate of £12.50. It may have seemed reasonable but I'm too agitated to accept. I'd like the new customer rate for my troubles. Besides, I can get up to 38mb from another provider for cheaper than £21.60 + cashback.I explained that I want to leave the contract. The advisor placed me on hold. After 15 minutes he came back and said I could 'negotiate' a price with the faults department. Transferred to faults. It was there I was advised a telephone engineer may not troubleshoot a broadband issue. She explained something to me about a 'test socket'. Never heard of it. Anyway.. managed to get it plugged in. My speed shot from 32mb to 62mb instantly.The advisor went on to explain the faceplate was faulty. She advised BT will not replace it because there is no fault on the line. I should get a professional in the area to do it. I purchased this faceplate on Amazon for under £15 and my internet has doubled with a steady 60-65mb.I suspect the ‘something else’ the telephone engineer mentioned was a new faceplate or broadband accelerator. I was not clued up about these devices at the time. BT need to send the right engineers out. Even if they aren’t going to fix the problem, they can advise customers more thoroughly. I admit, I’m a bit of noob when it comes to things like this but I expect so are lots of other people. This is such a simple, cheap & straightforward fix to a distressing problem. Feeling cheated by your internet provider!I’m not saying it’s going to work for everybody, but if your internet is slower than expected; try one of these. I got a massive jump but even the smallest amount would have been welcome. Screw off and on in a few minutes. I didn’t bother with the extension wires because I don’t use the landline but I suspect it’s very simple to connect judging by other reviews.This device is pricier than some others but I chose it because I like the design. I did expect it to have a BT logo but that’s negligible. It works as it should. Completely over the moon.I hope my review was useful. Sorry if I’ve went on and on but BT do my head in *sigh* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's white plastic... *by A***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2018* so it isn't going to win any beauty contests. However, it fitted over my standard BT master backplate just fine. It's supplied with two different sets of screws depending on the female side in the back plate. Mine was labeled 'VDSL' rather 'ADSL' but it works fine on my ADSL connection. Fitting is easy, unscrew old faceplate, screw on new one and plug in router+phone. Check for dial tone and all will be good.Not sure if it was related, but I did get a few hundred more Ks down after I connected it up :-) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Success ! *by I***0 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2021* This resolved a troublesome issue I have been having for a long time, I wish I had thought of it sooner !My internet was randomly stopping and needing to be re-started, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes a few times an hour and nothing I tried made any difference.I tried 3 different routers, a few different PC's lot's of different OS'es, alternate Network Managers and settings, different Wi-Fi set ups, Ethernet cables, filter plugs, power plug systems etc, etc but never considered changing the faceplate !When I took the old one off I noticed it had been wired with an old extension cable which was no longer in use and don't know where it went to so I removed that then plugged in the new faceplate with built in filter so I could dispose of the external filter. The built in filter is much more comprehensive than any inline filter could be.Very happy my problem is now greatly reduced but not entirely resolved, I still have a couple of drop outs now and then.I wish I had thought of this much sooner but you would never suspect a socket of being at fault. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/48929378-bt-telephone-adsl-broadband-faceplate-filter-adaptor-centralised-filter-splitter](https://www.desertcart.it/products/48929378-bt-telephone-adsl-broadband-faceplate-filter-adaptor-centralised-filter-splitter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
