I am not a techie but I can think of this in such situation.

The broadband cable which comes to your home may contain two sets of cable. One of the set is for telephone and the other for broadband connection.

Though these two sets of cables run together, in the telephone exchange they may actaullt be connected to different terminals.

So there could be a problem from the exchange terminal in telephone set. Broadband terminal may be functioning properly.

IMO.

and yes, I have never worked with a router as well. So all the above post is just a logical guess.

i have dataone broadband connection..its not 2 pairs.. its single twisted pair..
watt u talking about is dedicated DSL ..adsl just run on single twisted pair..by creating diffrent frequency bands! 0-5khz for voice and remeing 5-30 khz for upstream and downstream data flow..using a multiplexer placed at respective exchange.

BB is on a different frequency & phone on another. And BB & phone are handled by diff. centres.
