You wouldnt here radio from a dsl modem but as you say you talked to your girl and you would here radio, this is not uncommon. In a previous life I was phone tech and ran across this on several occasions. We had to methods to solve this problem. First we would take the "drop" (over head line coming into the house} and put a twist in it spin it around its self. If you have a buried wire coming in or if you live ian apartment we would use a resistor most times these would work.

Try putting a twist in all wires connected to you speakers

Try plugging them into a surge protector, or better yet another plug. Do you have any backup on your puter? Check out APC's battery backups... i'm running an APC 500ES. Use it to back up your most powerful stuff and leave the less powerful stuff on a decent surge. I use an APC Performance SurgeArrest. This will ensure cleaner power and give your equipment a chance to run properly.

surge protectors are great but they can get pretty expensive generally. They are however a good thing to have especially when it comes to thunder storms/lightning strikes.
