- I had a lady that was getting really crummy DSL service too. They finally called in someone who used to work for SBC but went independent. He had them put the filters on all of the phones, and their problems seemed to have disappeared. Have you installed those filters they gave you on ALL the phone connections (and fax connections) in the house? I have SBC, and right now I am getting 1536 K in and 384 out. Do you notice it any worse after it rains? Sometimes they have leaks in the insulation around the phone lines, and you get crosstalk on the wires until it dries out. The crosstalk confuses the DSL data, and it has to retransmit the data which means it takes longer (seems slower). If there is water in the line, they can and should fix that up for you.
