So why not call their customer service and report a problem that
requires them to come out and replace their splitter? If they did the
install then they would've installed a splitter to isolate the phone
gear from the DSL line. If you did a self-install, did you install the
filters on every phone device that connects to the phone line?

I would start by checking if your DSL filters are properly in place, or
your phone/DSL modem wires are somehow not connected correctly. This
sounds like a local issue. The DSL and your voice are of course on
different frequency spectrums.

Do you have a Worldnet ISP account? Try posting in their internal
newsgroups. You can either access it via NNTP, or by the more amateur
web interface. Settings here:
http://www.wurd.com/cl_news_thunderbird_05_gia.php

and the group is:
worldnet.help.dsl

Via your browser:
http://webnews.att.net/ and select the DSL group.

While the Worldnet agents do not have access to your equipment and phone
lines, they do have cross-company contact with the DSL providing
branches of the company.

There is a way to hook it all up using only one filter. See this
schematic drawn up by a Worldnet/AT&T DSL user:

When the ISP comes out to do the wiring, they add the filter so the
original phone line for ALL devices gets separated and then they run in
a separate line just for the DSL modem. The do-it-yourself kits that
has the customer setup the DSL access at home requires attaching a
filter to each device because the precept is that customers are too
stupid to be running code-compliant wiring through their house - but
that doesn't stop users from doing the same setup that the ISP would do.

Do have the anti-dsl filters setup on all your telephones?

Thanks everyone, but it seems MY pure stupidity reigns. I had the dsl
line plugged into the filtered phone jack. Since it worked from the
beginning I never bothered to recheck. All is even better now.

That suggests that the 'filter' isn't doing a good job; it should stop the
DSL signals completely.

Check the Filters.
