Cable maybe, but there isn't a separate filter with FTTC, it's built into the new faceplate supplied by BT when they install it.

The engineer used my existing ADSL cable from the socket to the modem. I wonder where that leaves us .

That would seem to suggest Openreach are now using your home wiring as part of their network. You should probably be charging them line rental

Veteran contributor, redchiz provides a useful link to an Openreach document on FTTC demarcation rules.

The document is entitled "Flexible Demarcation - An Industry Guide" (v1.0 - 1st December 2011). [2]

That document states that in FTTC installations, the Network Termination Point (NTP) - that is the statutory point of demarcation between the network and the consumer premises - is still the NTE5 (or similar termination box).

** FTTC demarcation rules are as follows -

The NTE5 is the Network Termination Point of the Openreach access network within the end user’s premises, although Openreach also maintains the active NTE.

The active NTE is the FTTC VDSL modem and will be located close to a power source and the desired service location.

The active NTE can be located separately from the NTE5 and can be connected via Data Extension Kit (DEK) cabling up to a length of 30m.

Any Openreach-installed data extension wiring comes with a one-year warranty and becomes the end user’s property.
