Ecolitan: Think I see your problem: "We are in semi rural and probably around 5km from the exchange."
thekiwi:
Is it possible that my wiring (this is a new home with a Signet 8 port Phone module installed) is at fault or is there a line issue somewhere in between that can only affect "outgoing voice"? Im about to start trying to isolate it by checking wiring and also removing ADSL etc. Ive used a hot of phones (cordless, and fixed) and all the same. Tried various patch cables, different wall ports .. no luck.
holmesr: Hey do you have wireless internet? do you use a cordless phone with the 2.4 Ghz Range on it?

Although your comment about having tried a lot of phones that this is probably irrelevant; are they by any chance US imports? There is a known problem with poor far-end voice quality with some phone imports that haven't passed PTC in NZ.
holmesr: I think I can tell you exactly what the problem is if your router is 802.11g you need a 2.5 Ghz cordless phone as 2.4 Ghz doesn't take interference very well. Imo its well worth the shot let me know how you get on

Linksys WAP is only 802.11b
But with Cordless phones all unplugged the problem still existed (although would appear doesnt at the moment after weeks of problems)

You could try this out of interest, take the filter off the modem and plugging it straight into the wall and having a filter on one phone that is worth a shot
Bung: With analogue phones the send & receive paths are 4-wire only in the phones or after the line port at the exchange. Maybe someone noticed something about the send path settings of your line ports and corrected the problem. The line itself would affect levels in both directions.
