390732 2005-09-25 06:39:00 We have ADSL with the whole house filter thing done. We also have a bunch of wired analog-type phones and one digital cordless (Siemens Gigaset C1).

This is what is happening:

(1)
When I am using the phone (any phone), I get patches during a call when there is a click and the sound goes a bit echo-y for maybe 10-15 secs.

(2)
If we answer one phone, then want to use another, when we hang up the first phone we get terrible feedback as the handset is replaced.

This seems to have started since we got ADSL - but I can't be sure. ANy suggestions as to what might be happening?

390733 2005-09-25 07:47:00 Answer to (2) is that there is feedback between the earpiece and speaker reflected from the phone base as you "hang up", very common and the only reason you hear it is that you are listeneing on another phone that holds the line open.

I get the (1) momentary "echo" very occasionally on a DECT cordless, it appears to be related to the cordless technology.

I have a DIY ADSL install, and don't associate the two in any way with having a filter.

With question (1) it happens on the corded and the cordless phones.
