After a while I figured out that you are in Germany... in order to find that out I googled to "DSL-6000" and afterwards I also saw that you share your firstname with Udo Juergens :-)
Just to say that "DSL-6000" is a brandname that people from other countries maybe dont immediately understand. Now, for a technical explanation of what has happened , I can say the following.. The things we call DSL today, came out of 2 technologies that had other names in the past. - Technology to combine data and voice on a single link - Technology to send data without expensive modems, so called "base band modems" What probably happened, at the risk of making a blooper 'cause I did not visit and crawl around the rooms of your house.... If I understand you well, you have the 12-wire cables in a star going from 1 point to every room, but it is of critical importance to know if at the central point the 1st and 2nd and 3rd ..n'th 12-wire cable are attached/connected to eachother. Because IF they are attached to eachother, then you DSL router is attached to 1 arm of the star, and the other wires are connected but are unused. (even if other wires are used for a phone.. or ISDN) These unused wires cause incredible so called "standing wave" reflections, making it harder for the modem to talk to its counterpart in the Telekom exchange where a so-called DSLAN is installed. We humans, can compare this like singing an opera inside an empty septi-tank, with the sound reflecting from all 360 degree metal sides. It makes you nuts. Now, it is very well possible that a DSL-2000 uses a lower speed on the trunk line that comes in from the Telekom; but the DSL-6000 uses a higher speed. (The website says DSL-6000 doubles the bandwith which an expensive word for "capacity", like the number of lanes on a motorway.) With that higher speed, the misery of reflections becomes MUCH worse. (exponentially) So, you may leave things as they are, because it works. Or, you may detach the unused 12 wire cables, and use central RJ45 connectors with a patch panel to select which (room-)line needs to be activated on DSL or ISDN. <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangierfeld> for an impression of a patchpanel with German local-talk tourist information. You may want a small version of this. The doubling of the trunk speed, and the presence of side-lines on your internal cabling is most likely the cause of your problems. There should not be too many T-intersections in your cables. With phones that tends to work, but with DSL you may not exaggerate with these.
