Help!!!!!!!!

Help!!!!!!!!

2007-04-12 by tronbros@aol.com

Dear All,
Will ny of you with an understanding of Broadband connectivity come to my rescue as neither AOL or my line provider can advise.
I had broadband for six months without a hitch. Four weeks ago the telephone line suddenly went noisy when using the handset of the phone and I could hear the modem talking despite a filter. I exchanged the filter twice but the problem persists. Now it has become worse as I have to lift the receiver on the phone until I can hear the modem make connection and then unplug the handset as replacing it disconnects the broadband reception. Where I live is rural and the feed to my house is still two copper wires. However, this proved no problem for the first 6 months. What changed, what can I do, how is the phone interacting when it didn't before? Any help from the list would be much appreciated.
Frustrated beyond sodding belief,
Martinge

Sorry can't help, my connection has always behaved that way and my
provider won't fix it, so if you find out please let me know!

Way back in the olde days when I had dialup, I had a lot of noise
and dropped connections. Then the phone company installed new wires
from the telephone pole to my house and the problems went away.

Martin - how does the line sound on the phone if you disconnect the ADSL filter?

Martinge,
I noticed that while I was waiting for you to come to the phone today I could hear apparent modem style activity in the background, so has a near neighbour recently messed around with the phone lines?
