I had the same problem on 500 up in KL7 at home. I ended up moving the modem to the garage where the telephone line comes out of the ground and keeping the ADSL loaded wiring as short as possible - then on the telephone side of the router I connected up a pair of reasonable quality of seried ADSL filters outbound for normal telephone wiring in the house. From 20 over noise I cant "see it" now as the big antennae has been chocked off. I only use wireless around the property so it wasnt an issue.
Next job is to choke off the noise from the AC power line coming out of the ground - its awful.
