eircom cordless telephone

purple'n'gold · 2007-04-21 17:34:22

I bought an eircom digital cordless telephone today. Now when someone rings in and I pick up the new phone, my broadband switches off. Anyone any ideas?

you need to plug out the cordless phone from the eircom socket and plug it into one of these:

Good man. When I told my wife about your reply she remembered that we got two filters with our broadband modem. Plugged one in and hey! It works. Thanks again you’re a star.
