ADSL connection dropping when phone is answered

Hi,
I've had this problem over the last week or so.
No hardware changes. Have swapped line filter to no avail.
I'm with Tiscali and up to this point have had no trouble.
The problem seems to be strangely intermittent.
The only change I can see is that the speed of Tiscali has mysteriously
changed from 576K to 2.2M bps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Martin J.

Do you have filters on ALL phones in the house ?

does your equipment disclose the noise margin / SNR margin. What does
the www.bt.com/broadband line checker say is your max speed.

If you have been switched to a faster speed (what service BTW ?) it
may now be very marginal. If the phone drops the connection the
filtering is suspect - get an adslnation money-back guarantee super
filter and see if it helps.
