Change yer microfilter.

A hung up phone is almost a dead short to RF..so if the filter is
dysfunctional so will your DSL be.

Try remioving phone entirely from master socket and plugging a new
filter into that.

Nah ... far easier to blame the ISP / BT / VM et al ;o)

its all been tried, i have another new comtell master socket with
built in filter , no dice, added another filter to the phone skt on
the master skt and BB still only works when the line is engaged with a
call . any more ideas ? when i put phone back after terminating the
call the o2 helpline it goes down again.

o2 helpline said that BT had fucked up the wiring but trying to get
them into the exchange to put the wiring right is proving difficult.

Change your ISP for one who will get BT to act. Plenty of recommendations
