Line Noise With Broadband Connected

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my telephone/broadband.
When making calls on our telephone, there is a very prominent hissing over every call, and the occasional weird pops and crackles as well.
At first I assumed this was our line, but when I removed the broadband wire from our microfilter (thus disconnecting our broadband connection) all that noise vanishes instantly and I have a nice clear line.
I thought our wireless router and wireless telephone were interfering (wirelessly!), but whether our router is on or not is not the problem, the noises on the line only starts when the router is connected to ADSL.
Any ideas?
I assume this may be a case of get a new microfilter and replace all our wires?
Although I have swapped our microfilter for a newer unused one it didn't seem to make a difference. What is odd about this as well, is that this doesn't always happen, it can become hissy sometimes with no correlation to a certain time of day etc.
Maybe our router's ADSL modem is playing up?

If you've tried swapping the filter it sounds like it could be the router. Any chance of you borrowing one to confirm that?

Typically this problem would be a faulty microfilter. Is your hissy telephone plugged into the same microfilter as your router? If not, is your hissy telephone actually plugged in to a microfilter?
