Answer 1

Do you have DSL Internet service? DSL uses the same wiring as landline telephones. You typically have to plug the phone into a DSL splitter (a low-pass filter) so the phone doesn't interfere with the DSL service:

Otherwise, you might want to consider getting cable Internet service, paying for additional home wiring, or perhaps switching to VOIP phone service.

Answer 3

I'm going to assume you have wifi because that is what I have and mine does the same thing. Apparently there is a filter in your wifi router that is suppose to fix that stuff. So if it is stopping every time the phone rings, I would guess that is why. So buy a new router.

Answer 4

you decide on a clear out on each and every gadget plugged into the telephone line - different than the modem. it seems which you the two have a clear out on the modem or you have a gadget plugged in without clear out.
