If your internet is getting affected by your telephone service, either one of two things is happening... 
1-  If you have DSL, ensure that ALL devices connected to your phone line  EXCEPT for the DSL modem is properly filtered. Every telephone, fax  machine, dial up modem, satellite box, alarm system, and any other  device connected to the phone line needs to be filtered (of course  except for the DSL modem it self)
On occasion the DSL  signal may still leak thru a filter, so with some installations you may  require adding 2 filters to your phone line...
2- You  are using a 2.4Ghz cordless telephone, and have wifi. If this is the  case, before you run out and replace your telephone there are a few  things that you can attempt to resolve this issue. First try to change  the channel that your wireless router operates on. Normally the address  for your router is located at http://192.168.1.1  but if this is not the address for your modem, then you can go to the  start menu and type in CMD then hit enter at the command prompt type in  IPCONFIG and then hit enter look for the default gateway, and enter  those numbers into your browser. 
The standard default user ID and password combinations are:
User ID: admin
Password: admin =or= password =or= just leave blank
if  none of these combinations work, you will have to search for the  default password to your router in the manual, or online. Sometimes the  password may be located on the router itself. 
Once logged into  the router, look for the wireless settings and change the channel that  the wifi operates on. You do not need to change the settings for the  devices that connect wirelessly to your router, if this is the only  setting that you change. Changing this setting should reduce or  eliminate the trouble between your 2.4 Ghz phone, and you wireless  router. 
If you continue to have problems with the  above troubleshooting tips, try moving your cordless phone further away  from your wireless router, and/or plugging it into a different power  outlet. If all else fails, replace your 2.4Ghz phone with a 5.8Ghz  phone, or a 1.9Ghz DECT phone.
