After installing Broadband, phone volume reduced

After installing Wanadoo Broadband I find that it is difficult to hear
voices on incoming calls
Is there a solution?

Filters are Speedtouch supplied by Wanadoo

The Speedtouch filters aren't bad but there are better ones. It does sound
like a filter problem. Try substituting some others.

I had the same problem with low volume. Solution was to swap the
Speedtouch filters for Safecom.

I haven't heard of this before but it is possible it's the filters.

If you have a branch of Maplin electronics near you [ www.maplin.co.uk
should have a store locator but I find their site design to be
horrible] their ADSL filters have caused me no problems with reduced
volume. The reason I suggest maplin is generally, if it doesn't sort
out the issue, they will accept a return for full credit even if their
item isn't at fault.

When I checked with Amazon they listed the BT filter and also had a
customers comments as follows:

" BT ADSL MF50 is OK, October 26, 2004

Reviewer: rrroy from UK

I got four of these with AOL broadband. having a bad line (out in the
sticks) initially I had lots of problems getting installed. I found the
answer was to plug the ADSL filters (just two) directly into the phone line
right at the master socket. To get acceptable results I had to make sure
that the house phone wiring was not connected directly to the master socket
but was only connected to the output of the filter. To achieve this I had to
remove house wiring that connected directly into the master socket and put a
phone connector on so it could be plugged into the MF50 output. "

This may be my problem as I have house wiring connecting my second phone
