Phone line static influencing DSL quality

[Joseph Kubik]

What you need to do is goto the D-Mark (the little box where the line comes in).
Disconnect your house.
wire the modem directly to the Dmark.
If you continue to have problems it is Bell's issue.
If you do not, just leave the modem there and rip all of the wires out
of your building.
re-wire with CAT4 or better (IMNSHO)
