The signal goes to several sockets, so you can get at least reflections. Maybe there are old phones still connected, so there is some reduction in the "power" you get.
Phones wouldn't do that. There's supposed to be a filter on ADSL lines, to previent interference between phone & modem.
True, but assuming that installation has "problems" one possible problem is that the filters are not properly installed.
Cable modems have nothing to do with phones, so nothing there either. Also, those devices can accept a fairly wide range in level.
Assuming ADSL, phones, being analog devices, are more sensitive to "issues" (two phones in the same line do reduce the signal values). All that can be covered by the strange wording of the technician when talking to laymen. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
