Could we have a link to the approved filters, and the replacement box
front, please?

For people who aren't familiar with this,
in any houselhold which has had a BT line installed in the last (????)
years, a BT master socket is installed.
These are the same size as light switches.
The BT line comes into the house and terminates at this socket.
There is a removeable panel, which your phone plus into, and extensions
are wired into this.

The reasoning for this is that BT take responsibility up to the master
socket. A BT engineer can come in, unplug the removeable panel and test
the line without your domestic equipment coming into play.
