Another point to note is that ALL phone socket extensions should have such a filter unit attached, even if you only connect a phone/answering machine/fax to that extension.
Dwarf, should the line going to the DSL box also have a filter? The instructions that came from Verizon were really vague and I think I have another filter here.
Sure i'll go get a pic of my old plugged place, and my current(:-
The black one was my old connection and the white is my current.
The Black Cable comming from the Black thing, is the Phone Cable.
The White Cable comming from the White thing is the Modern Cable(:
Both White & Black thing is plugged into another |¨| plugable thing(:
I think your problem might stem from a wiring problem of the phone lines in your house. I had exactly the same problem and after the phone company made some wiring changes, it worked. The way I understood it was that there is a primary outlet and the others are subordinate (I have 4 outlets). So the one where it works in your house may be the primary outlet.
Now all of this was in Germany. In other countries the situation may be different.
PS: In my house in the US I did not have that problem. I was at first working with individual filters per outlet, but then Bell South installed a central filter where the phone line comes into the house. But the lack of filters should not bring the internet down - it just produces noises in the phone line.
After reading the link Dwarf provided it sound like my not having the modem but having the phones on filters is why I have no weird noise, but I do have internet cut offs. I'm going to mess with it later and see what I can find out for my own problem. spit, good luck with your issue. I'll post back in here if I find a resolution, since it might work for you too.
