Test Socket... What is it?

[Phal]

I suppose I could find out if I looked more but Im lazy...

From what Ive read in peoples posts, its either just the main socket where the connection comes into your home or its another socket inside the actual box on the wall?

Can anyone else explain this clearly?

So the test socket is that socket I can see there?


Whats the point in having that faceplate anyway? At my old house, the filter was built in to the socket so I can see a reason for a faceplate there but if there isnt a filter built in, why bother having that extra faceplate? :|

Just seems like a pointless extra thing thats plugged in for no reason :|

a lot of people seem to be getting more speed even if they dont have extensions :|
