[GTALUG] dsl modem ideas for bell?

[Karen Lewellen]

By filter, do you mean those little  thingies  one could put  on the phone 
to prevent interference?
When bell moved me here they claimed I did not need them, but I will dig 
one out to see if it helps.
Bell techs have checked the lines to my apartment, the jack itself,  and 
the cables being used.
not sure what might be more local.
The filter replacement is a fine idea.
