Hi,

This isn't completely accurate. I had my BT home hub installed by a BT engineer 
as I was having no end of difficulty with it.

The first thing he did was to isolate the direct telephone connection into the 
house and plug the home hub direct into that. The next thing he did was throw 
all the filters out.

He said that as the hub was directly installed into the incoming line there was 
no need for the filters. I have the usual amount of phones running off the line 
throughout the house, lounge, kitchen, bedrooms etc etc, there are no filters 
installed and there is no hiss off the analog line.

The hub works as sweet as it was designed to work, the phones have no issues 
either.The only issue is the power of the broadband signal delivered by BT, but 
that is another point, and something that is unavoidable whilst we rely on 
holes and poles!

Kind regards

Colin

  You will want as many filters as you have phone points you use.  Hook the 
home hub to a point without a filter it just won't work.  Hook a phone up to a 
point with no filter you may hear hiss on the analogue line.

  BTW: I don't own a BT Home Hub, but all it is really is a fancy wireless 
router with some other bits tacked on.
