Perfect solution to unreliable line filters
I bought this after upgrading to fibre broadband and discovering that there was an intermittent problem with our master socket. The speeds were usually fine (around 36Mbps on a 39Mbps connection) but would occasionally drop to around 7Mbps. happened to be on the phone at one point when it happened and heard a bit of crackle in the background. Wriggling the line filter created a lot of noise, a dropped internet connection, then a reconnect back to normal.
Obviously the faceplate had a problem, so decided to do away with the line filter "dongles" and fit an interstitial plate - I can live with the odd phone crackle but interference on the broadband is a pain!
This arrived quickly and was a very easy install. There were no screws in the pack, which I mentioned in my feedback, but the seller was very quick to message and rectify as they were supposed to be included.
Even without the screws the interstitial plate fitted securely and worked perfectly. Connection speed on testmy dot net has increased from 36Mbps average to just under 38Mbps. Not a huge jump, but significant enough to be real and about as good as it's going to get on a 39MBps line! It also allows you to remove the filters on any extension phones you have, which neatens everything up nicely :)
The plate is absolutely recommended even if you don't think you have a problem, and the seller is absolutely recommended for his very quick response to a very minor (in fact, completely unimportant) problem!
