XTE-2005 Master Faceplate - Increases Broadband Speed + Eliminates Micro Filters £10.99 + £1.50 p&p


£10.99

148°

FOUND BY: bazza88 2 months, 1 week ago

I noticed a couple of posts for a BT I-Plate.

However you would be better off purchasing an XTE-2005 Master Faceplate from adslnation. The reason for this is because it also acts as a master faceplate which acts as a master filter, eliminating the need for several seperate micro-filters.

It almost doubled my speed from 1.5MB to 3MB.

You can purchase it from here -

http://www.adslnation.com/phpapps/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=105 at £10.99 + £1.50 p&p.

You should also purchase an IDC tool for installation which again is available here -

http://www.adslnation.com/phpapps/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=34&products_id=93 at £0.59.

You could also purchase a more professional type RJ11 cable which allows for a more shielded cable, reducing any noise etc impacting your connection speed. They are available in numerous sizes for e.g. 0.5m available here -

http://www.adslnation.com/phpapps/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=121 at £2.93

The installation is very straight forward and instructions are provided.

not useless, removes an extra join in the line. RJ11 cable straight into this from router gives best results.

If you only utilise one telephone socket in your whole house then yes the master filter part of it will be rather useless.

It obviously is only a real benefit if you have mutiple phone sockets in use.

However in regards to boosting your speed, this particular product is known to be the best out there in doing so.

Another thing if you do use multiple seperate micro-filters that may also contribute to a slight speed reduction.

This is not a combined Master Faceplate though, if you read my original post.

Like people have said you may as well just remove the bell wire instead of purchasing an I-Plate.

The XTE-2005 allows for your router to connect directly to your master phone socket, effectively allowing you to achieve the maximum speed possible for your line.

The XTE-2005 has also proven to be more effective than the I-Plate.

The BT I-plate is a different beast.

This faceplate allows you to connect your dsl router / modem directly without using an external microfilter and wire extensions filtered or unfiltered.

BT offer a similar plate (not the I-plate) but I went for this when activating ADSL on my second line that had an alarm wired in directly, swapped the faceplate and put the alarm wires on the filtered extension block.

So it does away with the filter, big deal. It's just a connector at the end of the day that will NOT increase speed. The product description says that. Your voice calls and internet data will still be sharing the same copper wire once passing through this plate so it won't reduce interfernce either.

Save your money....
