What you want are switches with RFI filtering to prevent interference
with DSL.

RFI filters are used to block interference on frequencies used by DSL,
so they would also block the DSL signal itself.

Firstly, if the dsl dis-sync of the modem is caused by the dimmer
switch, I would have to buy a new dimmer switch with RFI/EMI function
for the modem to "adapt" to my dimmers?

Secondly, my telephone wiring is more than 15 yrs now (2007) and I
assume that it is now twisted/shielded PSTN/RJ11/CAT1 wires. Would
that affect/cause interference to my ADSL2 modem? Would you recommend
for a change?

Thanks in advace

Yes.

To prevent the switch from interfering with your DSL.

It probably _is_ standard twisted-pair telephone wiring.

>that affect/cause interference to my ADSL2 modem? Would you recommend
>for a change?

What might help your DSL is to run a new dedicated high-grade cable
(preferably CAT5) from a high-grade DSL splitter at the demarc
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demarc> to your DSL "modem". That avoids
any problems from your home phone wiring and eliminates the need for
micro-filters on all phone outlets (but not RFI filters on dimmers).

Hi

How about changing the ADSL2+ Modem to DLink or Linksys ADSL2+ Modems?
I currently using Speedtouch 536v6 given by my ISP. Would it solve the
DSL Problem without changing the dimmer switch?

Next, I also realise that street lamps affect DSL Sync? I am staying
at an high-rise apartment. Does street lamps affect DSL Sync no matter
how high you live in an apartment?
