Morning all,
I have just had full fibre installed and I want to check if I still need to use microfilters on my landline extension sockets.
Many thanks in advance.

@Sandgrownun given with full fibre you will have switched to a digital voice line where the phone has to plug intonthe back of the hub. The old analogue phone sockets no longer work with or without a filter as the old copper connection is redundant. If you want multiple hand sets around your home you will need to a buy a cordless DECT phone kit.

Re: Microfilter required on extension sockets with full fibre?
As @Chrisee indicates, once Sky Talk Internet Calls is in place there's no longer a telephone signal on any internal extension cabling or sockets, so microfilters become irrelevant. Handsets plugged into wall sockets will not work: only the socket on the rear of the Hub is 'live'.
