Hello fellow members,first of all i would like to apologize if my query is unnecessary making the forum here bulkier. i would try to be as brief as possible (as i have gone through posts related to my query, but still i wanted suggestions most suitable to mine). i have two issues i need your advice on :-1] Parallel connection : basically i have 2 telephones with same phone number at home (say A and B) in two separate rooms, and my net-connection in another room. i have 999 unltd connection. to connect to the net, i have to necessarily disconnect phone B from the line so as to be able to go online. phone A can remain connected. that way i get half of the bandwidth, but i do get connected and can surf and download. i do this in the daytime so that any calls on the landline dont go missed. but as is the case with parallel connections, i get disconnected whenever i get any call on the landline, and have to reconnect after the phone-conversation. at night there's no problem as i disconnect BOTH phones and enjoy FULL bandwidth. now i have gone through posts related to parallel connection, and have mostly seen people advising connecting the extension phones through additional ADSL filters (splitters) at each socket. i need to ask :-a} would this method solve the problem, ie, of disconnection of line whenever i get incoming call on landline during daytime, as also half-bandwidth one ?b} can i get these splitters at an electronics/related shop ?c} any special type of wiring needed ?2] contacting a lineman :- the line-stats of my connection are poor. i live at thane(w), and my local exchange is at sahayog nagar complex. i discussed this problem with an officer there, and he said you must be having internal phone-line problem, but MTNL doesn't deal with it. you should call an electrician for that. but on some posts i have seen people telling about their contacting their local lineman to get the problem solved. i wish to know what should be my approach regarding this ? if anyone's from the same area and can enlighten me, that would be uber cool ! thanks a lot friends for bearing with me ! i hope you won't mind :smile:waiting for your replies...
