Microfilters
Posted by Edward Martin on March 6th, 2004


I've got my wireless BT Voyager 2000 adsl modem up and running and wish to
change the BT supplied "dangly" type microfilter. I've only got one phone
plugged into it - all my phones are digital off the one socket, along with
my sky connection.

I'm after either a phone & adsl connector/adaptor thingy ala the old BT dual
phone adaptor that just plugs straight into the wall socket and plug in the
phone and the adsl modem and away you go.

Or possibly changing the wall socket (regular BT phone type) for a
adsl/phone combo type.

Two questions - what microfilters would you recommend, and can the sockets
be easily changed by non BT engineers - are we allowed to do it and more
importantly is it easy to do /

My technical knowledge is zilch. i can change a three pin plug and follow
simple instructions but thats about it !

Very simple to do and yes, you are allowed!

they are connected via a removable plug into an NTE5 main socket. There are
lots and lots of installations that are still hard-wired.

I dunno much about them
but I do know I have just had ADSL installed and bought some cheap filters
from ebuyer.co.uk at 99p each
I had noise on phone line when the engineer came (had ISDN before) but when
these were plugged in noise went away

seems worth getting a few anyway as 5 cost less than 1 of other makes
