Re: dont know what to do

Hi there,
If you have:
- Changed filter
- Changed router
- Connected to master socket via filter with all other telephony devices detached.
And it still doesn't work, then you have a fault and we need to get a BT Engineeer out.  Yes, there is a £144+VAT charge if it is your equipment at fault, but it really doesn't sound like there is in your case.

Re: dont know what to do

Hey again,
Is the line really noise when you have all of your broadband equipment disconnected and just your telephone plugged into a filter?

Re: dont know what to do

You look to have eliminated the hardware (two different pieces of kit), unplugged all phones, replaced bandpass filter, and used master socket. The fact that the line is audibly noisy - that is reason for an engineer for a simple 'voice' and not data fault!
Have you spoken to the BT helpdesk on the 0800 number using the phone line causing the problem as they normally carry out remote diagnostics firstly?
