Broadband forum: DSL disconnecting everytime the phone is turned on.

DSL Filters on everything plugged into the phone line except your DSL Modem.

The 2.4gh phone is the culprit.

Can you change channels? If so, then change the channels on it. If not, then disconnect it and you should be good to go.


Neighbors that have a 2.4gh portable phone can also disconnect you.


Hope this helps.

DSL contains two analog signals.

1.) Analog voice frequencies with a bandwidth of 200 - 3400 Hz. This is your voice/phone connection.

2.) Analog frequencies with a bandwidth of 86 KHz - 1.1 MHz. This is your DSL (data) connection.

In order that the DSL frequencies do not interfere with voice, the filter is specifically a "band pass" filter. This means it blocks the DSL frequencies to each phone. DSL filters are placed in front of each phone or analog device such as an answering machine, FAX machine, or dial-up modem.

As to your specific problem you need to connect a standard, non-wireless phone to one of the jacks for a test. If the problem goes away, the cordless phones are the culprit. If the problem persists you need to contact your ISP for help.

So I have tested a non cordless phone(a really old model) on all three of my phone jacks in my house with a filter attached. All three times my internet disconnects. I have absolutely no idea what is going on. After my tests I have concluded that it is not the 2.4GHZ or 5.8GHZ cordless phones, not my modem or router, not the wiring inside my home, but possibly all of the phone jacks in the house. Now, I am not completely sure that it is possible for all phone jacks to be defective, its probably something internal that requires some serious repairing. If I have missed anything that may be a factor of the disconnections, please mention them. I have just scheduled for yet another technician to visit my household on Tuesday, yet I feel it will be another futile attempt to fix this issue. Thank you all for the help you have provided.

Also, do you guys think if i switched to Comcast Cable service, that my problem would be fixed?

I had to rewire my phone lines from the network box outside to fix the problem. Because it's all "inside" problems, the phone company won't help either - at least not for less than $90 per half hour.
