Well, one i've not heard of before anyways.....

Friends in the next village (Broadbridge heath, West Sussex) have a
Dell PC conncted to orange broadband via the USB ADSL modem supplied
by Orange.

For about a week now they have been unable to use the connection
except when they are using the phone for a voice call.

They have tried :

Plugging the modem directly into the master socket (well, via a
filter) with all other exts unplugged.

Trying 3 different micofilters.

Spendijng ages on the phone to Orange Broadband at some extortionate
cost checking and re-checking settings.

Getting BT to check the line (supposedly ok).

Anyone seen this before and know what the problem is?

You could try taking the faceplate off the master socket and plugging the filter
into the BT part, that would eliminate any internal wiring.
