Whoa...there are several different filters used. One is a filter for the phone outlet itself. Another is a filter that's put on the connection for the phone to the house. This connection is called the "D-Mark". If you want the absolute best performance for a DSL line, run a separate CAT-5 line from the D-Mark directly to the modem for your computer. Have the phone company put a filter on the other connections for the phone lines at the D-Mark. The reason this is done is that every single phone line/appliance connected on the same line as the DSL connection will degrade the speed for your DSL connection...........so you separate all phones from the line to your modem.
