Nick / John,

I can rule out BT's "DAX" box which uses analogue carrier multiplex as I had
one here for a while with no RF problems on any band. It was USELESS for use
with a modem though so it's gone now!

To briefly answer a few points which were raised:

NOT power-line poles

Just a wild idea.

Have any of your neighbours had 'home highway' (the domestic brand of ISDN
installed).

BT also have a wonderful little pair of boxes which duplexes two BT lines

onto

one physical pair of cables. If someone near you has had one fitted

depending on

the technology used this could increase the noise on the phone lines.

Have you looked at the modulation on the noise in a reasonable bandwidth?

if it

is 50Hz or harmonic related then it is something to do with distribution

wiring

or appliances, if it is not mains synchronous then it is an appliance of

some

sort.

Good luck
