Sounds like the telephones are dropping down the line power to much for the ADSL to work.

For example in the past phones and even ADSL modems had a REN number, something between .2 and 1, all the phones connected to the same network could never when added up have a REN greater than 1.

It's one of the reasons as to why multi handset dect cordless became really popular..

You could talk to BT but as they only tend to cover the outside witing upto the master socket (and or the BT homehub for which they'll ask you to unplug all extensions to test) they'll charge for an engineer to fix...
