From what I can determine is that when the landline is used, it doesn't hang up, even after ending call & hanging up.
Right after missing a call, I picked up the phone to hear something like "Hang up & dial again."
I lose connection & bandwidth when line is used. It's usually up & operational some 10-15min later.
Telling someone that's addicted to having the phone in their ear at all times, that they can't use it, is frustrating to deal with.
Thinking might not be bad idea to unplug all the phones altogether to see if that makes a difference.

Got suckered into working in the warehouse today.

And tomorrow.

And to coming in 1.5 hours early tomorrow.

And to staying 3 hours late.


Did I mention that they still haven't hired me?

Phones should not affect your internet, if they are check that they all have filters properly installed. Everything but the DSL modem should have a filter. May also be referred to as a POTS splitter.

Its a bad filter somewhere. Did you know they recommend changing them every 90 days?

Haha never heard that one, but yes they can go bad.

I did recall seeing a ticket where the residential help desk told this old lady to keep adding more filters. She had like 13 of them daisy chained. :biggrin:

You only need one to go bad once before you swear off dsl forever.
