| 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.

|
| Well, he said 10 as he had no clue and 10 sounded like a lot.
