Internet disconnecting when landline rings.

As above really, I've experienced lots of disconnections of late and haven't really investigated why until now when I was on WoW on my laptop and got disconnected shortly after the landline started calling. I connected back straight away but thought this was strange. I then rang the landline and same happened.

What could cause this? Dodgy filters?

Never had this before.

I'm on ADSL24.

Dodgy filter fo sure.

Well I changed to a new one now I'm getting a drastically bad connection speed. I don't know if it's just coincidence or something is wrong!

Interestingly I also started getting this after migrating to ADSL24. It's very annoying and I've tried changing filters on all phones with no joy. Getting to the point where I'm considering moving my office into the dining room so I can plug straight in the master socket as I think it's more stable there.

Part of the problem is that it's hard to diagnose as it doesn't disconnect on every single ring, I'll swap filters over and ring via my mobile thinking I've fixed it, then later on get disconnected by an incoming call.
