This may have been caused by an MTU installed somewhere on the external line, which should be removed,[1] or it could have been a DECT phone - some were causing these problems and needed replacement or more than one ADSL filter inline - or it could be lengthy telephone extensions inside the house making acting as aerials and making the connection marginal for ADSL purposes.
