Signed up for DSL at beginning of March. Two days before my activation date the phone jacks in my basement started working intermittently. Most of the time I get solid static - no dial tone at all. One in a while I get a clean dial tone and can dial out and/or access DSL. I have no problems with the phone or DSL on any of the other jacks in my house.
I have a 15 year old house, the basement was finished around 8 years ago. I never had a problem in the 3 years I've lived here with any of the phone jacks. Seems too coincidental that the first problem I have is two days before my DSL activation. I've moved my computer upstairs to access DSL but that is only a temporary solution. Filters have always been installed on all jacks with phones/modems. I even tried switching filters thinking that a filter might be bad.
Any one have any insight as to what might cause connection problems on certain phone jacks upon DSL activation? TIA.
