Which type of cordless phones? DECT should not affect 802.11 wireless due to the frequencies used.

US model cordless phones do use 2.4GHz if memory serves me right though. That is a joy of an unlicensed spectrum also used by baby alarms and video senders.

Whilst DECT and Cell phones do not use the 2.4 ghz frequency. Many cordless phones sold in UK do use the 2.4 ghz frequency. They hop to avoid interference.
Againwe are getting away from the OP question. Better to ignore some comments rather than antagonise.

You are aware you are addressing a Staff member?

Sorry if you have had this answer already, the thread has got a little side tracked, so gave up reading all the way through.

If you have tried replacement filters, also with the router on it's own, connected to the NTE test socket, and the problem persists.....
It's either an HR fault on the line, or faulty SMPF equipment in the exchange. As suggested, pester your ISP for an SFI visit.

Second, you didn't mention RAE. Which is ...

I assume he means the Research Assessment Exercise used by the Higher Education Funding Council to assess the quality of research done by Universities. If that is the case, he wouldn't be putting students through it since it is members of staff whose peer reviewed published research is assessed for quality and value.

No, he's on about Radio Amateurs 10-4 good buddy
