Hi Julie,

That would be ideal, were it not for the fact that I cannot have a router in the porch as it would not be central for wireless (in practice, I don't use wireless). Not only that, but, while there is an electrical socket in the porch, it is on the other side of the entrance door. I have tried this location for the router and it is a terrible solution in this specific house.

You make a good point about the capacitor though. The filter only has a 1 micro-Farad, which may then, as you imply, have a REN of less than 4, so I may need to remove my bodge and do it again with a filtered faceplate, once my experiment with running unfiltered BB and phone down different twisted pairs in the same piece of cable has been comprehensively tested and if it works without interference. In the meantime, it is enough for two phones.
