Telephone/Broadband SKY+ problems

[The Wholesaler]

Does anyone else have this setup? main telephone line downstairs, sky tv in living room connected to a slave phone line, sky tv upstairs connected to a slave phone line, but I want broadband in, what about the adsl filter? will these need to be wire through my main line and every other line in the house? i'm totally baffled and thinking of getting a second phone line put in!

with adsl you have basically two choices (though hybrids are possible)

you can put a filter at every bit of phone apparatus. This means no messing with the install but can get a bit untidy

or you can put a filter at the entry point and route the ADSL wiring seperately from there. this can be a neater soloution (especially if you get one of clarities filters that fit on a NTE5 and let you attatch both phone and broadband wiring to the back) but needs a seperate pair from the intake point to the DSL modem.

thanks for the reply, will the filter work fine if i just put it on every phone socket in the house, or does it need to be connected to the main line into the house, i'm still a bit confused

yes, we gathered.

Buy a few splitters and put one on each socket. Easiest solution.

You could use some of these, tidyer than plugin filters, just replace the exsisting face plates, and not too bad a price either when you consisder the plugin filter prices.

You could use an inline filter (expensive option) but then you'd need to split off adsl sockets/telephone sockets which would be a pain.
