Filter problem or not?

[dannyjo22]

I've been having a few drop off in the last week on my adsl.

Bt through a homehub which has been fine til now.

Basically I have a dect phone on the master socket with a filter and the homehub on a spur with a filter.

I've noticed the phone line now gets interferance and I lose the odd connection. I've tested the phone by having it on with the interference and turning the router off. Interferance goes away. Turn it on, as soon as the broadband light comes on I get interference again.

This is the same regardless of whether I run it all through one filter or the other, regardless of socket as well.

Surely both filters cant have gone tilt?

Or is this more likely to be a router or line issue?

Any help?

Home Hub = Poo, both filters are unlikley to have failed together but it's possible, it's also cheaper to buy/borrow a working filter than a new router.

I've been telling myself for ages I will change the hub, but I might see if I can borrow a filter to try. Can it be anything at the exchange thats gone **** or something at the BT end rather than a piece of equipment in my house?

Thanks matty, the problem is I dont get any noise when I plug into the sockets without the the router on. As soon as I turn on the router I get interference. Surely thats the Broadband then giving me the interference. My worry is they turn up do what you have just suggested and say the lines fine. When as soon as I turn the router on it's not.
