Reply To: Telephone call causing DSL / Broadband / Internet to drop connection Telephone calls causing DSL / Broadband / Internet to drop connection Ok, so we very occasional receive a call by our BT Landline, ‘usual spammers selling something’, but have noticed…

Dont understand why just you in GB need this socket and faceplate and all the limitations and problems coming with it. We all know very well the less and shorter connections the better the signal.

Whole rest of world needs only 2 wires, a and b and whatever plug you like, going just directly to your modem or splitter first if you still have POTS or ISDN.

Of course many countries like here where I live use their own plugs, but if you change it even to a RJ-45 socket nevermind and will do the same. I have never seen electronics in the socket – if you have POTS for telephony you use a splitter, easily changable if it goes defective.

I know we had a diode and resistor only for linemeasurement in the past too in our sockets, but nothing more and last 10 years not even that.

Who cares what you do at home?

Keep it simple, and if someone from BT needs to enter your home, ok, then mount their original socket and nobody can complain about it.

Just my simple opinion and 2C to your troubles with socket and faceplate.
