Hi,

i just installed the sbc/at&t/yahoo dsl system and it works real good
but many of my phone calls, local and distance, seem dim and mutted.
is this a drawback with dsl modems? the modem is Siemens Speedstream
4100 Ethernet DSL modem. pretty sure i have all the 'filters' installed
right. would appreciate any feedback on this condition.
thanks,
jim & irene

No this is not a drawback of DSL. I have DSL and I know of 4 other
people that have DSL and none of us have experienced anything like you
have. The first thing I would do is disconnect the DSL modem and see if
the trouble stays or disappears. If the trouble stays then it sounds
like AT&T changed your cable pair when you ordered DSL. If the trouble
disappears then it sounds like the DSL modem is the problem.
