Hmm...
It should be totally quiet. What type of phone are you using - is it a cordless?
Any chance of you trying a different wired handset (if you could quiet line test your phone on someone else's line that would be great).

Quote from: jelv I've seen posts suggesting that Dect phones should be double filtered. Also when you did the test socket test, was the phone still plugged in to the filter? If so try again without the phone plugged in to see if you get a better sync and also make sure the DECT phone is totally turned off or moved well away from the phone socket and router.
Dect Phone was unplugged

BTW - is there any electrical equipment near the phone line in or the router? (E.g. your router isn't sat on top of your PC - power supplies can generate a lot of electrical noise)

Quote from: jelv Right - for a next step I'd recommend trying the quiet line test on a friends phone to see what it should be like and then borrowing their handset for 10 minutes to compare on your line.

Master socket is 20cm from Mains Wall Socket

Routerstats is good for that and can give you good indications of when things go wrong.

Also with a noise margin of 14dB and 47dB attenuation you should be getting much faster speeds than 1856kbps
I may have missed it - but which router are you using
