It's the old and new ones that do. The original BT broadband was installed by BT. They replaced the original master socket front with an ADSL one. Then wires only broadband with nasty microfilters came along so you could install it yourself. More recently BT have realised their error and reverted to the original adsl master socket. It has a phone and ADSL socket on it.
They can be bought for about £10 from CPC. Wiring an extension is simple and if a retired BT man can't do it he can't have been very good. Only 3 wires to parallel on each socket 2, 3 and 5 and simple drawings are all over the net.
