This "thing", does it look like:

Also have a look at order code "UY BUTT" on http://rswww.com

If so then there is a fairly good chance the wiring was done by a BT
wireman since the splice connectors (for that is what they are) shown in
the fuzzy piccies first off are BT special versions of the more generic
scotchlok parts listed by RS.

b) the Blue and White cable connected again with this clear plastic
thing with green + white wire of the same cable from above.

Note that none of the above is connected to any wall socket yet - it's
just been done outside.

They usually do it in a box of some sort, although the connectors are
filled with a silicone gel so that they are waterproof.

All other wires from the BT's incoming line is not connected to
anything.

Common enough - they will lay on more than they need to allow for future
expansion or rectifying faults. (I had a new line installed, and they
could not find a spare pair that worked - so they had to dig a trench
and lay new cable - I now have an additional 10 incoming pairs (9 unused)!)

Now the cable that has green and green+white wires connected to the BT
line, this line goes to a socket that to me looks like an NTE5 - but my
NTE5 looks different from other NTE5 i find on the web.

See my other post. Note also the older BT master sockets did not have
the split face plate.

it has the back plate which is the same - and the green and green+white
wire is screwed onto A and B of this back plate.

but the lower plate has the following:

2,3,4 ans 5 IDC
AND
another CS, CB, CA, B and A IDC ??!!

A = exchange A wire
B = exchange B wire
CA = ADSL filtered A wire
CB = ADSL filtered B wire
CS = ADSL filtered shunt (or "ring") wire.

The BT standard splitter only has the last three connections. The ADSL
nation one also allows the unfiltered exchange wire to be routed on to
other sockets (very useful)

so what are these CS,CB etc for? and how do i wire the rest??

Use the C? versions to run to any extension phone sockets that will not
be connected to a ADSL router/modem. A & B go to pins 2 and 5 on a
standard socket, S to pin 3.

to make things more complicated, i have another socket near where the
BT main line is coming in - which has:

snipped stuff I can't wrap my head roud at this time of night!

Now - if I plug in my ADSL router directly to NTE 5's internal socket
(i.e. lower face plat completely removed and i plug in directly to the
test socket), my broad band works.

As you would expect....

If i wire like above, and plug into the lower faceplat's phone socket,
nothing works for broad band.

You are probably wiring the filtered output of the master in there
somewhere.

I just want to know what the hell is going on with the wiring!!

Wire all the normal sockets with the C? lines, wire a dedicated socket
for your ADSL device from the AB lines (assuming you don't want the ADSL
devise plugged into the RJ11 on the front of the filter - in which case
ignore the A & B wires on the IDC of the filter)/
