It sounds as if she has too many devices connected to the phone line at any one 
time.
Usually one device has 1 ren unit.  Fax and answering machines often 1.5.

When the phone call comes in, this may cause an excess above 4 which is the 
usual maximum limit.

Hi all -
 
A friend keeps finding that she loses her connection to the internet each time 
she takes a phone call. She has filters in all her phone sockets. Anybody any 
ideas what might be causing this? She's thinking of getting an engineer in 
because she never had her phone line upgraded, so still has the old junction 
box where the phone comes in to her home, and then has several sockets running 
off this. I'm not sure if this is the problem, as she does have Internet 
connectivity, it's just that she loses it when taking a phone call.
 
Thanks for any ideas -
 
Andy
