Change yer microfilter.

A hung up phone is almost a dead short to RF..so if the filter is
dysfunctional so will your DSL be.

Try remioving phone entirely from master socket and plugging a new
filter into that.

o2 helpline said that BT had fucked up the wiring but trying to get
them into the exchange to put the wiring right is proving difficult.

Change your ISP for one who will get BT to act. Plenty of recommendations
