BT/Openreach are currently trialing a new vDSL faceplate filter, pictures below. These will be made by the current supplier to BT and as you can see take the design of the BT I Plate/Broadband Accelerator as their base. We expect these faceplates to be available in the summer at similar pricing levels to the current NTE2000 & NTE2005 ADSL faceplates.

This faceplate will be available from August 2010.

Latest info from our suppliers suggest the vDSL faceplate will not be available until early 2011, should anything change we will of course let everyone know! As soon as they are available we will have them to buy on the website.

****update****
Early versions supplied by BT had no provision for a hardwired extension, later versions(the one we should get one day!) WILL have this provision via IDC connectors on the rear of the faceplate.

Unfortunately we still have no firm date for the arrival of this faceplate. The NTE2000, NTE2005 & XTE-2005 Clone faceplates are still in production & available to buy online :-

Still no update on a release date for general sale but we can at least confirm the faceplate now has provision for a vDSL extension.



The PCB design has been improved too :-

This faceplate is now available for resale! In stock 13/01/2012!!
