Incoming calls killing broadband

If I get an incoming call it knocks out my broadband and it then struggles to reconnect for a while also the phone rings differently (like a long continous ring). Outgoing calls do not cause this prob.
I've changed the filters and even tried a filtered faceplate with no luck, and it seems to be a problem only when the RJ11 cable is connected (even if the router is off)
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this, especially considering the line is clear if just the phone plugged in?
Thank for any help

Can you try a different corded handset and do a quiet line test, by dialling 17070 then press 2 to see if there's any noise. Also it may be worth just having your broadband and no phone into the filter and ringing your number to see what happens.

Are you getting the noise when the phone is plugged in without a filter?

It may be worth, as Jim suggested, changing the RJ11. If that makes no difference I would suggest raising a fault.

Due to the layout of my house the cable has to pass through a floor, I suspect its slightly moved and had an arguement with a heating pipe along the way.

For best performance it may be worth having the router near the telephone point with a short RJ11 and run an ethernet cable through the floor. This was even if there were to be another fault with your cable it would not affect the stability of your internet connection.
