3.5MHz is NOT in the ADSL bandwidth. Standard ADSL goes up to 
1104kHz, the Max service which many in the UK have goes up to around 
1.8MHz and ADSL2 to be introduced next year to about 2.1MHz.

Remember that you need to stop rf getting into your PHONE line, it is 
not usually the modem/router itself where the problem is. It depends 
very much on the balance of your incoming line and what extension 
cabling you have - The so called 'Ring' wire upsets the balance and 
can be a cause of disconnections, you can disconnect this when all 
your phones are fed via filters as these replicates the ring 
capacitor. Better, if you really do have a problem, is to fit a ADSL 
splitter box at the master socket and run your router off that.
