I have not had your problems but I am also a long way from the exchange and do have intermitent problems. Every time I complain to BT my friends in Bombay tell me to put my Hub on the master socket as extension cables are not suited to Broadband - i.e. any wire after theirs ends is suspect and they do not take responsibility for it. They may be right as it works fine on the master socket. In my reseraches for help I found the KITZ site which is BRILLIANT although it takes a while to navigate around as there is so much. It will lead you to look at your master socket and upgrade to a replacement front plate with a built in filter then you will not need any others on the extensions. I've bought one but am awaiting time to fit it. If you then want to operate you broadband hub some way away you can run a long data/ethernet cable from the master to your location of choice. [I have no connection with these products I should add.] Happy reading and good luck: http://www.kitz.co.uk
Seems to have all the answers, it is just difficult to find them....!
