    Hi all,

    I recently got BT broadband installed (1 meg) and all is going well except for one small thing.

    When I am online, and I make or recieve a phone call, the broadband cuts out. Then when the call is finished, the broadband reboots itself and I can go on line again.

    Is it something I am doing wrong (settings etc) or is it BT's fault.

    Just wondering if anyone has come across this before.

    Cheers,
    Ted.

    Do you have a microsplitter on your phone line? This device has two outputs on it: one for your ADSL modem/router and the other for your telephone.

    You need this to separate the frequencies used by each. Otherwise, as I understand, the problems you're experiencing at the moment may occur.

    I got 4 filters in the installation pack. One had 2 outputs. I used this to connect to the back of the router and the other to the phone line in use. I also have some more phone points around the house that are not being used. Do I need to put the connectors into these too?

    every one with a phone or sky box in it, they will have one port on them not 2 as they are for phones only

    Is the splitter physically connected to the router? The splitter needs to be connected to the phone socket in the wall and from that point connect to the router and to the phone
