Broadband/phone line

[Timolgra]

My broadband is with an AOL/BT modem thingy. It was working fine.

I've moved the computer to a different room and connected the wires in exactly the same way as before, only now I can only have either the phone OR internet connection.
The internet connection is through the DSL confused modem.

So whats happening??

Who fitted the phone socket in the other room, BT or bodger?

And have you still got a diffuser in the main phone socket as well as the extension?

Er the second it was me

The phone line for the modem is an extension which I took apart to get the end off and pull it back the the hole in the ceiling. so I'm using the same extension now after I jammed the two pairs of wire back

All phones or other equipment must pass through a filter, splitter.

Make sure that the ADSL signal is only passing through one Filter / Splitter.

It can be the same Filter / Splitter for all of the phones.

Hope this helps
