Do i need to replace this?

[F022Y]

So just to check i'm looking at these:-

BT NTE-2000 ADSL Faceplate for NTE5
NTE5 BT Openreach Type Socket (NTE5A with bellwire filter)

[RUNITDIRECT]

Yep that is it, replace existing socket with NTE5 and install filtered faceplate to that.

Is this a new build? You may have an extenal NTE which has the bell wire filter built in, however, to have a filtered faceplate you will need an to fit it to. We have a pre production vDSL faceplate but have done no tests & will not do so until the final versions are available(this was supposed to be August but has now been delayed!).

Not really new, i'd say about 15 years old maybe longer, i traced all the cables back to this one point in the house (wiring in the house was a nightmare!!) but that black sheathed twisted pair i knew i had the master, plus its the only socket with a capacitor.

In terms of filtered faceplates is there any difference in the NTE2005 and the XTE-2005?

I only ask about the vDSL plate because i remembered reading about it then nothing and the release kept being delayed and no test results anywhere.

In our tests the BT ADSL faceplate made by Pressac performs slightly better. Bad news on the vDSL faceplate, last we heard was we may now be looking at early 2011!!

Sorry for reopening an old post but i just want to check that i've done this right.

Looks about right to me

Looks ok to me, although if you have some wire cutters trim the wires back(that stick out of the other side of the IDC) for neatness (a pro tool cuts them flush for you).
