Alright guys, so it turns out there was never a problem, yet in a way, there was. When I contacted AT&T recently because we were not getting anything close to advertised speed they mentioned there were some errors occurring between them and my DSL modem. After a little chatting the AT&T guy asked me to unplug the phone-cable from any DSL Filters and any surge-protectors plugging the line directly into the DSL Modem (The DSL modem doesn't require the line to be filtered). Afterwards he ran another line test at his end and no errors were returned. Afterward he could successfully boost our Internet speed an extra 1,000 Kilobits per second increasing my download rate another 100 KBps.
He also explained to me that the DSL signal is a very high-frequency signal traveling through the phone-cable. And when it reaches the surge protector the high frequency appears more like a spike than an Internet signal. So the surge protector will suppress the signal degrading the line signal.
All is well, and just some info for you 2bighorn. I never asked them to come out and look at it.
Thanks for all your help guys.
