Evening all.

Been noticing some horrendous background noise on my BT line whenever I make 'phone calls. Curiosity got the better of me earlier so I unplugged the ADSL modem to see if it was that ..... and it is.

When I plugged the modem back in I started getting the same noise that you used to get with the old dial-up modems (weird screechy / scratchy sounds) and then just a whole load of static.

I've tried a couple of different filters of different manufaturers and it hasn't made a blind bit of different.

Anybody know if this is likely to be the modem giving problems, a fault with the line, or if I should just keep trying different filters?

Thanks.
