This isn't relevant to the thread. As I said, I AM NOT using any punchdowns and all phones plug in through the front of the master socket. I really can't make it clearer than that!

But have a look here if you want to learn about master faceplates with punchdowns on the back... Read the intro tab and then look at the tech specs tab on that site.

Thanks BatBoy.
Here are the stats.
Unfortunately, the CLI says the same as the GUI for attenuation etc.

I have just ordered one of these routers...... £150 to check your stats....GREAT thinking BT!! I have 2 FTTC lines and one is not synching at the full 40mbps, when it should be more than capable of it! I'll let you know how i get on, and post stats........ In a straight line it�s less than 200m worse case....... I saw when it was installed over 16dB SNRM at full 40mbps synch, so i think its BT's DLM ....which apparently is a black art....and if you synch over 13mbps..... BT won't know your BRAS profile because apparently they are all stuck at 13mbps!!!! Fills you with confidence doesn't it?

I was going to comment on that dip into the bit loading ... It seems to be quite wide. I believe the frequency is 4.3125khz / tone. I may be wrong but I seem to recall that number.

No difference in reported attenuation and power levels from GUI to CLI.

There is definitely something amiss with it. Can yo email Technicolor directly? and ask for their comments?

It shouldn't do, but always worth checking and while it should have been checked at install time, a star wire config can be missed sometimes

OK clever boy, I accept I must be utterly beneath contempt in the intellectual stakes, but I don't see how the ADSL Nation faceplate, with which I am fully acquainted as I have one, allows you to connect all the extensions through the single socket in the front of the master, unless you are using (multiple) splitter(s).

It has white filtered and blue un-filtered connections on the back of it, all of which are punch-down IDC.

Sorry to be so dumb, I'm obviously completely misunderstanding something.

This isn't relevant to the thread.

In view of my description of the XTE-2005, it seems to me it could be highly relevant. But bullies are always right.

he'll have the Openreach VDSL SSFP with an RJ45 at the top for the modem and a BT socket in the middle for the phones. The OP appears to be plugged in as you say either via a 2-or-more-way splitter or with a daisy chain of sockets via a plug in connection.

That's the sort of setup I envisage, and although the NTE5 phone socket itself should therefore, I believe, be pre-filtered(?), I feel that setup is inherently unsafe.

Quite what an XTE-2005 has to do with it is unclear, unless just to prove I'm an idiot by talking about something that isn't relevant.

the VDSL faceplate is a bit like an iplate it all goes behind the orginal detachable bit so yes it's all pre-filtered.

Not sure why you regard it as unsafe - trip hazard ?

I think the OP was trying to clarify that there were no wired in extensions by illustrating the back of a faceplate, perhaps. He's not to know (without research) how much you or anyone else understands. Commenting on the basis of zero understanding is a growth industry on the internet, esp Twitter
