Hi,I have changed my filters recently to make sure of this. This is how I have it set up. I have an extension that plugs into the phone socket to go to my computer upstairs. On the plug the plugs into the socket is a socket for a phone so this has a filter plugged in and then a phone. Upstairs I have a cordless phone and my modem plugged into a filter which are then plugged into the extension. My modem is plugged to the modem side but I have tried using a sepperate filter for the modem just for luck, this didn't help.

Hi Dean I can't help you with your question, but I have one for you. Do you have filters plugged into both the telephone line and the broadband line? If you don't, then this would cause your hissing, although I'm not sure that it would be intermittent. Still, it may be that one of the filters has broken down.

I have had broadband trouble for a while, when the modem is connected the phone crackles a lot. Just recently though there have been times when it has completely gone away and it seems there might be a loose wire where the wire connects to the phone socket. It isn't just as simple as move the wire a bit and the problem goes away, it can just go or come back without anyone seeming to have done anything near it although moving the wire where it meets the box certainly helps. Ok so my question: The box just inside the house where the phone line first entres the house is about 2 by 1.75 inches, is white with 1 screw in the middle. This is an old box as a newer one would have the test socket where I could plug my broadband in to check it is the problem I think it is. I know that usually the internal wiring in the house from there to the phone socket is the owner's responsibility but is this still the case with having the old box? ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq No virus found in this incoming message.
