 Get it in a do it yourself mode first. You can always have it installed or 
checked if you fail but you shouldn't.

DSL comes with Modem, filters. and DIRECTIONS. She is refering to the main box 
outside the house if you did not want to use filters. Disregard it.

  She did mention the filter, but the part that the installer would do would be 
the wires inside the phone jack.  Is this just another rip?

    Say what?! Never heard of anything like that before. With my DSL I just 
    plugged the modem and phone into the spltter and plugged the splitter 
    into the wall jack. Oh yeah, there was also a 'filter' that had to be 
    clamped onto the cord running to the phone. And that was it.
