Not BT as an ISP, demon and BT are the provider. As part of my switch, I
re-wired my connection from the entry into my house, around the shake to a
new master socket with ADSL filter about 5m in all. Did this in sheiled UTP
and had the BT eng blessing. I grounded the shiled to my RF earth and
clipped ferrite core on.
Havn't noticed any increase or decrease in RFI, there may not be any coming
out anyway, it is a twisted pair.
Likewise, I haven't had any problems with the connection, running 100W HF
and 50W VHF (and didn't have with my 2MB service either).

same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice
as fast as that! -Lewis Carroll, mathematician and writer (1832-1898)
