You have EITHER a splitter (installed by Telecom) OR a filter on every phone OTHER than the adsl device.
It should work with no filters, but when the phone rings or someone rings out it will drop the adsl connection, and you may also get interference on the voice line. I have some adsl devices that are known working and could bring one round for a test if you so desire.
