When you get DSL your supplier sends both your broadband and your phone
signals down the same wire. The filters are needed to separate the signals
so that your phone only receives the phone signal and your broadband only
receives the DSL signal.
The filters only fit into phone jack sockets - they are not needed for any
other electrical appliances.
I'm glad to hear that Guitar man is still alive and kicking - and hopefully
strumming his guitar - when I first joined this group many years ago he
helped me out a lot too. Now I'm self employed running my own computer
fixing business in east London UK.
Although I'm not the most vocal of members of this group, I still check my
PC tech talk emails every morning and if there's a query that's not been
answered already (not very often!) I try to help if I can.

I have DSL service and the only filters required are for the phones
connected to the phone line that shares the DSL service. With out the
filters the phones tend have quite bit of static. Not so bad that you
can't use the phone, just very irritating.
I installed the DSL filters at the phone jacks and have not had a problem
since.
Hope this helps.

But, when he got the service, he was told he needed filters for all his
electrical appliances and was asked how many he had. He was told he had to
have one for each one plugged in.
Well, he said 10 as he had no clue and 10 sounded like a lot. When they
arrived, he started putting them in the outlets and he realized 10 was not
near enough and asked for 15 more. They are sending them. Meanwhile, he
has unplugged everything without this filter until the filters arrive.
I have no clue, as I have never had DSL (I am soooooooooooo grateful I have
cable) What are these filter things? Are they really necessary and are
they common for everyone with DS:L? I have never heard anyone mention them
before.
Thanks for any input... This is not an urgent message, just curiosity..

Great guy.. in all ways.
