We supposedly have the latest modem.  When I "suddenly" had RFI it was shortly after going from an older modem to this one...weird.
Hopefully Monday I will hear from AT&T with a solution (for them to fix).  Sounds like they should have a whole file on this issue.
Thanks,JohnK5ENQ

I had this problem in spades especially 160. In the end, after some number of repairs to AT&T cabling, etc, the replacement of a 2Wire 3800 gateway box with a 3801 killed it dead.

IF you have a 3800, it will need to be replaced, although the sudden appearance seems to sound like something suddenly gone wrong. Make sure all the little telephone plugs get exercised to clean them up and see if it "suddenly" goes away.

In any event back in 2011 I was involved in a very careful staged repair, item by item to see what items made any difference. From my situation and about a dozen parallel similar extended careful replacement exercises, AT&T seems to have it solved and the solution is in their "book".

So just let them do their thing.

73 and good luck,
