I got the master socket moved on a Bulldog LLU ADSL service in a similar 
situation where there wasn't room near the master socket for the ADSL 
router. Also it was in a basement where the wireless on the router would 
never work. I had tried a 10m CAT 5 extension on the ADSL router side of 
the filter but the ADSL signal almost vanished in it. The filter output 
must be very sensitive to the load represented by that extension. Once 
the socket was moved all was perfect.
