That sounds very much like you need a replacement microfilter - we had a 
lightening strike here last summer which blew out a microfilter 
(literally, bits of it melted on the wall) and had exactly the same 
problem on phonecalls until it was replaced. Luckily, because the 
filter blew up, the surge didn't hit the ADSL router and enter the 
network!

That's no excuse!
