    Every time I get a call on the landline and hang-up, the internet goes down. Grrr!!! Why??? I don't know: will do a quick Google and/or buy new phones. Must be the phones since it also happened in the last house with a diferent ISP. For a change, I don't think this is BT's fault. :mad:

        I would bet on a capacitor somewhere in a phone plug. Have you checked them ?

          Have you checked your phone filter/splitter? Mine used to behave like that until I changed it. Now of course I don't even have a land line, much less hassle and I don't need to deal with Orange, also known as "The Bastards" locally.

          All new since I moved and getting the same outcome. The only thing that is not new is the phone; ergo, must be that.

            Nothing is wrong with your splitter but the line itself. From the point where you have got a connection to your splitter, there is another cable that has to go to your phone. If that is not connected to correct phone line then everytime your phone will ring internet will go down. Ahsan Ullah Senior Software Engineer MCTS 2.0

                Check the REN numbers on all equipment - if it exceeds four, that could be the problem (and it might depend on proximity to the exchange how much of a problem). You may be able to ask BT to turn the gain up a bit, that may help.

                  Hmmm, not sure, it could easily be a faulty filter. Give it a try mate.

                    They're all new. I'll buy another couple and see if that makes a diff anyway: can't do any harm. Thanks

                      Our DSL frequently fails to connect until we make a phone call. We usually end up calling our own number and leaving the phone ringing until the DSL connects
