Please re-read the OP. I was trying to ascertain whats involved in a self install and do they replace the master faceplate. ADSLNation is neither here no there.

In your OP you said "they". For self-install there is no "they", only you.

In reply to a post by Banger:

Getting back to my original question, do I need to replace my current ADSLNation ADSL faceplate with a VDSL faceplate?

[cough]
That was not your original question. This was:- "Do they fit a new master faceplate and has it got extensions on it?"

Except they are in the cabinet.

I dont see your point other than the make of faceplate.

That's right as I said. But they don't come to your house.

BatBoy replied with two things. Nobody comes to the house, and you just use a dangly filter.

You then queried the dangly filter, asking "On a self install?" as you have an ADSL Nation one. He answered no, just carry on using the ADSL Nation one.

If you had stated originally that you had an ADSL Nation faceplate then he would have given that answer, instead of that you should use a dangly filter.

I hope that settles the confusion, but would add that if and when FTTC does arrive at your house then although your ADSL Nation faceplate will work it would be optimal to replace it with an Openreach VDSL2 Mk3 interstitial filter plate and refit your original NTE5A to the front of that, if you still have it.

The reason being that the newer VDSL2 filter plate is to a higher spec and removes a wider range of noise spectrum from the phone wiring side being fed back onto the line.

Self install - it's in the name.

Got the HG612 but cant get router to connect over ADSL. Simply plugged DSL into dsl socket and lan into lan1 replacing the billion but nothing. DSL light is on and lan light is on any ideas?

ADSL or fibre? Fibre is not ADSL?
