Cable Forum - View Single Post - Is there a better master socket I can use?

I currently have an BT LJU3/1A master socket where the BT line enters my house.
There are 2 incoming wires (black and green) connected to terminals 2 and 5.
Also connected to terminals 2 and 5 are 2 wires that form an extension cable that goes upstairs where my router is located.
I disconnected the ring wires on the extension about 1 year ago.
There is a cordless phone and a burglar alarm system plugged into the front of the master socket with a plug in type microfilter.
Upstairs I have another microfilter plugged into the extension socket and the router and a normal corded phone plugged into that.

My question is: Is there a different master socket that can be fitted that would give me even a small broadband speed increase (currently around 4Mb)

I did try plugging the router into the master socket and that gave a small increase in speed.

I have the option to go fibre broadband if required but 4Mb is ok at the moment.

Thanks for any replies.
