just say you have broadband in 1 room and also a phone in the same room both connected to the phone line by a wee filter box that's fine but any other phones in the house must have a filter on them as well for everthing to work properly, I'm running mine of a extension and its fine, filter boxes are cheap and so are extension leads so try a new lead as well to see,

Any phone device plugged into a phone socket requires a filter. Including your broadband modem. If you have done this then the filter on the normal phone is iffy. If both phone and broadband are on the same socket ensure that a filter is fitted and funtional.

yes- you need a seperate modem so that you can do as you please without it disturbing your broadband connection. I would go to ntl and enquire. I have a seperate one so that i can do both.
