It was supplied by BT when they installed the broadband (and has BT logo). 
It has two outlets, broadband and phone, with krone connectors on the back 
for phone extension wiring. According to the BT installers, filters are not 
needed on the phones, (and they didn't supply them) although the filter in 
the faceplate isn't 100%, as we had to fit a filter on the fax machine.
Research indicates that what we have is an NTE5 with ADSL faceplate.

All this correspondence has prompted a bit of research and possible 
experimentation, though. We are, according to BT, about 2.5 km from the 
exchange equipment, and marginal for ADSL. Speed at the moment is only about 
half a megabyte, measured on http://resources.zdnet.co.uk/speedtest/ .
