you only need the filter if you want the phone to be used as well,

The filters must be put on every phone/device connected to the line regardless of what socket they're plugged into.

Everything except the DSL modem.

Trying to solve this problem with dsl filters in parents house

Just got broadband

Have 3 phone sockets upstairs, downstairs and attic

Downstairs phone has an answering machine & there is a splitter for this and the phone cords.

Put a filter on the upstairs phone and in the attic, where PS is connected to. However every time I put the adsl line in at the phone socket beside PC the phones go dead???

Also do I have to use the adsl microfilter and then put the splitter into the tel socket so I can put both the answering machine line and phone line in

confusing I know hope I explained it clearly

anyone help

I only have one phone connected to the line - the rest are cordless ones running off the main one, so theres only the two phone lines - the one for the phone, and the one the modem is plugged into - so do I just put the filter on the downstairs (main phone) line?

Yes. Some cordless phones are known to cause problems with BB, particularly the DECT cordless phones. If you still have a problem after putting on the filter, get a normal wired phone and plug it in in place of the cordless (with the filter still in place) and see if it still disconnects.
