![]() I've got the double faceplate installed by BT when I took out my ADSL connection back in the early days. I've heard a few comments that it's not as good as a high-quality microfilter, and wondered what the general view is? TIA |

TIA I've only recently had the double ADSL faceplate installed and the performance is superior to the microfilter that was supplied along with my router. As a number of changes were made, I have no way of telling exactly what part of the process was at fault but at least the ADSL faceplate is more convenient and looks neater ! |

You can buy different quality filters built into a faceplate - the components in a faceplate filter may be identical to those fitted in a discrete micro-filter.. http://www.adslnation.com/support/filters.php http://www.adslnation.com/products/xte2005.php -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |

But a high quality microfilter *may* be better than a cheapo (or very old) faceplate. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager Microsoft Windows... a virus with mouse support.

On the other hand I've never had experience of a faceplate going faulty, but know plenty of plugin one which have. You pays your money & takes your choice, it's as simple as that, but personally I would go for a faceplate filter, albiet an old one |

I have had around half a dozen of the BT NTE2000 Filters going faulty. Usually silly things, like shutters failing, but several where they put loops on the line or the extension output stopped working. But, on the over hand, it's been hundreds of the MF50's....... |

![]() My experience of old genuine BT ADSL faceplates is that they are chock full of internal pcb plugs/sockets that keep going intermittent. My adslnation Xf-1e microfilter gives an extra couple of dB S/N and much less phone noise than the BT faceplate or several microfilters I've tried, one just as expensive as the Xf-1e. A newer faceplate could be a different story of course. |
