Hi,

I have had my attention drawn recently to the amount of cracking on our
telephone line. Upon further investgation I found that this was being
generated by our Linksys AM200 ADSL modem. Once the modem was disconnected
the line was clear. Assuming a fault I sent it back to the vendor who
acknowledged a fault and sent me a replaceent. Unfortunately, the
replacement exhibits the same kind of crackly noise. Assuming an inherent
fault with this model, I tried a completely different brand of modem only
to find that this too has the same problem.

Now it was my understanding that you can use the phone line and be online
at the same time and that broadband equipment was designed to allow you to
do this. Being thorough I also tested various kinds of ADSL filters - I
have 4 to hand, ranging from cheap (£2.00) to very expensive (£10)..
Neither made any difference.

My question is, is it normal to have this cracking on an ADSL line while
the modem is connected? Can one get an ADSL modem that does not exhibit
this kind of problem? What models are recommended?

I do not have cable so ADSL is the ony option apart from dial-up.


If there is a bad connection somewhere on your line then the dsl can
trigger crackling when the phone is in use. If you didnt have dsl then you
would probably still find intermittent crackling on the phone.
