slow broadband speed

Having just connected to broadband recently I was disappointed with
the speed that I could access the Internet. Sometimes it was not much
quicker than a 56k modem. Not really sure what the problem was until I
unconnected my phone from the mircofilter and for some reason the
access speeds to the Internet were greatly improved.
Problem being now that I have to disconnect my phone if I want
reasonable speeds. Could the reason for this be a faulty micro filter
or some problem with the phone line itself?

Cheers
Andy
