Ive just had a rewire of our phone and router setup and the connection download speed has increased from 2.9Mbps to 5.8Mbps 😀 Our exchange isnt likely to get fibre any time soon.
The BT master socket is in the loft and was probably installed in 1989. The removable lower panel didn't have a socket for connecting a phone (or router) into and the wiring that extended from that to the usable hallway socket had been heavily stapled in place.
Ive now got the latest NTE5C filtered faceplate master in the loft and replaced the phone cable with a length of cat5e down to the hallway telephone socket.
A second run of cat5 cable is run from the router and hardwired into Data home wiring A/B connections on the back of the master socket faceplate. It could have been plugged into the front of the master socket, but being as the wires are clipped inplace to the rafters, the hardwire option seemed neater.
Definitely worth while
