Pic please, just to see what it looks like.

Just checked mine and I have a MK 2 Face Plate, so I might upgrade mine to what seemed to be the better BT supplied option Mk4 as this had a REIN filter.?

Not sure if the MK 4  how well they handle G.inp etc ?

Thanks for pics, so you have also purchased a MK4 faceplate, and this is like your other one, maybe the REIN filter is an issue on your line ?

@Bully

Did you tried using phone after you fit new faceplate?

@uk-sentinel

You still got old one which is not bad, if you want to change it apparently mk3 is the best, therefore not sure if it got REIN filter. If you are just after REIN filter, have a look for Kauden broadband stabiliser. https://www.amazon.co.uk/PCSL%C2%AE-Broadband-Stabiliser-Line-Conditioner/dp/B07DLFQJ3L

Yeah, I just replaced like for like.

The G.fast Faceplate sounds interesting, as it for G.fast and VDSL and has a newer REIN filter, seems only MK1 had no REIN Filter, MK2 had the First REIN filter and by the MK3 they changed the standard REIN filter, MK4 also has a REIN filter and is the latest faceplate offered by BT until G.fast install is required when the G.fast faceplate is used with NTE5C Master Socket.

I think that correct ?
