DSL is sensitive to line noise due to TCP protocols and how they work. The phone line should not bother the connection though. Voice and the data stream work at different frequencies, with the DSL having a greater range since voice utilizes very little of what the phone line is capable of. This is one of the differences between dial-up, which works on the same frequency as voice, and DSL. You may want to check your phone lines though. call Etisalat and have them check your inside/outside lines. Many DSL service providers can route the path incorrectly or have you on a MUX that is just to darn busy, and sell service when customers are slightly out of range.
You could also try moving your computer and/or move your ADSL line and/or remove any other phones on the line. My DSL would drop out every few minutes, but when I moved my computer and strung up the ADSL line so it doesn't touch any other cables, I got PERFECT connection
One red flag came up for me in your comments. Games keep getting interuppted. A company I used to work for blocked ports to try and keep peer-to-peer sharing down. Before they learned how to do it properly, yahoo games were blocked by accident due to some of the port numbers being similar and lack of research. Just ask if they have blocked any use of major P2Ps like LimeWire, kaZaa
