You can get a filtered faceplate from ADSLNation, which are generally regarded as being very good.

Probably the best long term solution is to get BT to install a master socket - but I believe that costs quite a lot - somewhere in the range of £70 to £120 ???. Maybe I'm out of date, ?.

The setup here has been in place since I moved in 6 years ago and although antiquated has worked well in general, I had Broadband installed about 4 years ago and if I knew then what I know now would have asked BT to install a master socket but at the time I was just happy to get Broadband, again thanks for your help, Jack.

BT Master sockets are quite old - I have one in a house new in 1992.
I'm not suggesting you do it for BT's benefit
Just looks untidy with
But if you put an external "Master socket" you need the bottom half of the case as well.

Didn't mean to sound facetious about paying BT to upgrade their own equipment, just my warped sense of humour, Jack.

Have you tried calling BT to raise a fault on your line?

No I was convinced it was the filter because if I plugged the phone in direct it works OK I'm not really knowledgeable about this it just seemed logical that it was the filter, do you suggest I ring BT?, Jack.

PS I tried another phone with the same effect. I'm now using just the Broadband with the phone disconnected and it's working perfectly although at reduced speed, Jack.
