This is certainly the case.

On this basis it comes as a surprise when ringing them for technical help
that one of the first things that they ask you to do is remove the front
plate of their socket, and check their wiring!

When I had a line fitted in my house by BT, the engineer told me that BT
were responsible for the line right up to and including the socket in the
house.

I got the impression that the internal wiring was my responsibility 
and the line once it left the house was then BT's but I may be 
wrong.  I also was told that BT charge anyway for the repairs and 
they're not that cheap.  I was just going to get an engineer to put a 
new box on but I wondered if they could just do this considering that 
the box where the line meets the house isn't the new type.  There are 
two sockets on the filter, I'm sure one is for a router or modem but 
I have tried a separate filter for the broadband anyway to be 
sure.  There are rare ocasions when the phone crackles without the 
broadband connected but the worst of it seems to be triggered by the 
broadband being connected.
