   It could be the line itself, either a faulty joint, wet cable, or
touching another connection having been moved. Unfortunately you do need
some form of ADSL filter to make sure it is not that carrier, but you may be
able to borrow one for a while. If possible, remove all other local
connections while you listen, easily done if you have an LTE5 termination by
removing the lower front panel.
