can dialup conflict with dsl?

I am using windows xp and have yahoo dsl. My housemate has been using aol dialup. I have been having a number of problems with my connection:

1. Slow loading of webpages and lag.
2. loosing my internet connection and having to reset my modem.
3. Missing calls from my gf in the Peace Corps because I didn't know he was online.

Now I am wondering if my housemate's dial up could be causing a conflict with my dsl. Is this possible?

TIA

If the DSL lines have their microfilters installed, DUN will happily work on a POTS line with DSL. However, if you have a microfilter that is unloaded by an analogue device or the microfilters are installed incorrectly, the DUN connection will fail.

Not if the filters are correctly installed and working. You might try a new filter on the housemate's (dial) modem.

Hope I don't get flamed:

With Bell south provided filters for all my telephones, including my wife`s cpr using dialup, I`ve had no problems.
