This tutorial will show you how to remove the ring wire from your master socket. Which will increase your speed if you have phone extensions in property.
If you have a telephone extension in your home, that you are using for your router to plug into, and you have a BT NTE5 Master socket with a removable bottom half, by removing your ring wire, you could possibly improve / gain on your broadband speeds from your connection.
Sometimes this ring wire could cause unnecessay interference to your attenuation and give you slightly slower broadband speeds.
The ring wire is only used for the older type of telephones, and as per its name, was used for providing the signal to make your phone ring.
Removing the ring wire is a very simple task to do and is a cheaper alternative, (with sometimes the same results) then purchasing an ADSL Faceplate and subsequently fitting that.
How to remove the ring wire from your master socket
Determining which wire is the ring wire
As you can see from image, have now removed the Orange / White ring wire. You could either gently pull this out, or cut with a pair of wire cutters. Be careful not to damage or pull the other 2 wires as this would stop your phones from working at the extension socket.
Now, just put the faceplate back into the master socket, and screw it back together.
I have a pic here were the grey long plastic thing is now i have been told that the master socket is behind that but if so that means its behind my kitchen cupboards lol
