| 476108 | 2006-08-05 09:00:00 | The real issue is the load the phones put on the line. Telepermitted phones often show the RN - a number which is an indication of the load. Older phones are often higher RN (but not marked and not Telepermitted!) You don't need a filter on an unused jack point where (of course) there's no load. I have had two phones doubled off one filter with no noticeable degradation. I suggest you replace any older phones especially if they have mechanical bells and dials. Get Warehouse replacements at 19.95 so long as they have RN of 1 or less. (I've seen some with RN 0.5) Add up your RNs and hope the total is 5 or less. If your total RN is too high, maybe consider getting 2 or 3 cordless DECT phones where only the 'master' unit actually connects across the line. Cheers. |

| 476109 | 2006-08-05 10:05:00 | Thanks for all the answers I have had, and thanks also Coldot - had no idea about any of that... will have to check that out sometime. Based on the information I have gleaned from these answers, I can now make a more informed decision on how to proceed with this. Thanks again, Pete |

| 476110 | 2006-08-05 10:49:00 | Do you really need a filter in each jackpoint? A few years ago, I got a bloke to do the broadband connection and some wiring for me and he put one filter in the primary phone (i.e., the one connected directly to the street) and said that will do for all the others as well. And it works!! |

And it works!! Obviously. With that type of connection all phone connections are being filtered by that one filter and there is a dedicated unfiltered line for ADSL |

| 476112 | 2006-08-05 11:52:00 | The easiest way is to put a filter on the line anywhere before the first jackpoint and run another unfiltered line from there to your PC. That way you only need one filter and you can have as many jackpoints/phones as you like as long as you don't exceed the ringing quota. | sinndisco (4059) | ||
