[Electronics-Talk] Modern Landline Phone Service

[Robin Frost]

Hi,

I was speaking in general terms about this particular issue and 
specifically about the Xfinity wireless gateway modem router combo xb-7 
or xb-8 where splitters that plug right in could have an issue.

I do hope that clarifies.

Take good care.

Robin
