| 598436 | 2007-10-06 00:46:00 | I have 2 jackpoints and DSL was connected today at exchange. Got home and now there is no dial tone on the phone line. I pick up the phone and its complete silence. Is this a fault or will i get the dial tone after i have put filters on?? I thought without filters you would still hear at least something (noise) when you pick up the phone but its dead silence |

| 598437 | 2007-10-06 00:48:00 | You need the filters as they have to filter out the standard phone line signal from the DSL signal on the same line;) | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 598438 | 2007-10-06 02:22:00 | Sounds like they've buggered it up and disconnected you instead! | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 598439 | 2007-10-06 02:40:00 | You need the filters as they have to filter out the standard phone line signal from the DSL signal on the same line;) Nonsense. You filter the high frequency from the part the phone uses. Nothing to do with dial tone at all. Your phone will still work without the filter - its just noisy. They screwed up. |

| 598440 | 2007-10-06 05:00:00 | Plugging a phone in without a filter merely means you disconnect the Internet. This happens round here from time to time. Power failure, go find a wired phone, plug it in downstairs, forget to unplug it when the power comes back on, no internet till we unplug it. The phone works fine without a filter. Reason for above is we went to cordless phones rather than buying extra filters. Unfortunately they don't work in power failures. And we get a few of those. |
