The ringwire is used by energise the bell on some older phones if they are plugged into an extension as theres no capacitor in some extensions
Without it connected some older phones may not ring.
Modern phones have an electronic ringer so it doesn't usally affect these.
The ADSL microfilter has a capactior in it so any phone should ring on the extension without the ringing wire connected.
The reason to disconnect it is in some cases it can act like an antenna and pickup noise which means the ADSL may not work as well as it could do as if theres more noise on the line the modem/dslam may have to sync at a lower speed to get a stable connection.
Less noise and more signal may mean a higher sync speed and less errors
At least i think thats correct anyway
