Telco's definition of an OK voice phone line is not at all the same as a
modem's. It's quite possible for your line to be good enough to pass
telco's tests for a voice line, but still noisy enough make a modem give
up on trying to run at high speed. And since there's a pair of wires
dedicated to your house, canceling the phone and installing a new one
would probably change nothing.
I'd suggest trying again next door on a different line. That might not
work either because, down the street, both lines are probably in the
same cable.
There's always DSL or cable or ISDN. These are *supposed* to carry
digital data. ISDN isn't much, but it's a breath of fresh air after
being used to dialup -- and telco takes it seriously.
