My ADSL filtered socket must be different. My ADSL Filtered socket
has 6 screw terminals. Do i just wire them all up to the
corrisponding number for each extension?

From here - I don't know, but I very much doubt it... Did not
your socket come with wiring instructions?

There are never 6 wires or 3 pairs needed in any voice or ADSL
connection. Some plain faceplates and plain slave sockets
have 6 connectors so all 6 wires of a standard 3-pair cable
could be terminated neatly, leaving no unconnected wires.
Most are doing nothing. For an example of circuitry, see the
bottom of http://www.adslnation.com/support/filters.php. You
can search for similar examples from other suppliers.

Looking at this page, you can see several types of filter. In
none of these are all 6 connectors connected between sockets.
2 & 5, A & B, Line in, etc. are the unfiltered (ADSL+voice)
input. F2 & F5, Output, etc. are the filtered, voice band,
output and F3, etc. the ringing circuit output. The output
pair plus ringing wire can be connected to further plain slave
voice sockets over fixed wiring.

You need the incoming pins 2 and 5 connected to the incoming
master socket pins 2 & 5 only and use no other wires in this
cable. You cannot extend this incoming wire to another slave
without also connecting on the ADSL part of the signal - which
is bad practice, since you should get the voice part separated
from the ADSL part as soon as possible.

What is the configuration of your screw terminals is anyone's
guess. If you have further questions, I suggest you research
UK telephone and wiring practice at the various sites giving
pictures of that information. I don't think I can help
further without more repetition.
