My questions, exactly; and, Wikipedia gave the answer:

DSL filter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A smaller DSL filter that plugs into the telephone line

A DSL filter is an analog low-pass filter installed on telephones and other analog devices to prevent interference between such devices and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service operating on the same line. Without the installation of DSL filters, high-frequency signals or echoes from analog devices can result in reduced performance and connection problems with DSL service, and the high-frequency signals from the DSL service can result in line noise and other issues for analog devices.

Typical installation for an existing home involves installing DSL filters on every telephone, fax machine, voiceband modem, and other voiceband device in the home, leaving the DSL modem as the only unfiltered device. In cases where it is possible to run new cables, it can be advantageous to split the telephone line after it enters the home, installing a single DSL filter on one leg and running it to every jack in the home where an analog device will be in use, and dedicating the other (unfiltered) leg to the DSL modem. Some devices, such as monitored alarms and Telephone Devices for the Deaf cannot operate through DSL filters and must be installed on their own line. Some monitored alarms can be successfully filtered with a DSL filter or splitter.

Unfortunately, not all DSL broadband filters are the same - some of the filters supplied by broadband suppliers do not completely filter out the noise from the computer (this can be heard faintly in the background when making a telephone call). Other problems which have been reported by users are the failure of their telephone to ring when receiving an incoming call.

sir Alpha_One, bliv me di mo po kelangan ng isang filter per phone, we have 4 phones in our home and dalawa lang ang may filter, ito rin sabi sakin ng nagkabit nito na kailangan daw bawat phone meron para mapabili ka sa kanya at 400php each, then a few months later nasira phone namin sa ibaba at napalitan naman ngunit di nakabit yung filter, pero di naman npuputol or naiinterfere yung internet so tinest ko nagtanggal pa ako ng isa at ganun parin ok parin yung connection, tapos tinggal ko yung ikatlo at dun lang nagkakadisconnection issues. so in my exp 2 lang kailangan yung sa mismong main phoneline unit at sa isa pang unit.

I appreciate the input, but my experience and 8 units of (honestly basic) electronics tell me otherwise. We experience disconnection issues with just one unfiltered phone. Perhaps you're just lucky that your unfiltered phones aren't particularly noisy at DSL frequencies. The only way that the phones will not interfere at all with the DSL is that they are ALL filtered, either having individual filters at the jacks or branching off a single unfiltered line (like raikonen's setup). In other countries, many ISP's branch off the DSL at the phone box and put all the phones on a single filter (not sure if it's because of actual regulations or just the ubiquity of line extensions in other countries).

3 phones ang gamit ko sa bahay.. 1 filter lang ang gamit ko, lahat naman ng phones ay working at walang noise.. ginawa ko ay after ng filter, dun ako naglagay ng splitter para sa 3 phones..

I've thought of it, but our setup makes this kind of connection totally impractical. EDIT: Pwede rin... I just have to figure out which wire goes to which sa phone box. But if my grandma decides to move the computer inside the house (they have their own "computer room" building) we'd need to use the multiple filters anyway.

The phone/DSL splitter has a built-in filter,- so you can connect your phone and your modem on it, without a need for another filter....

The DSL filter can be used if you have another (or extension) line and you want to connect another phone on it. It should make sure that your phone (voice) line is not hampered by the static noise from the modem/DSL connection.

ay ganun ba. so remove ko na lang yung DSL filter. tapos bili ng isang ohone para sa extension hehehe. actually, 3 dapat yung filter na kasama nung kit pero kuniha yung 2 kasi wala naman daw kami extension.

Sana hiningi mo na lang ang line filter,- wala naman dapat na problema iyon sa kanila....

Okay din iyong ginawa ni Elroi. After the filter or phone/DSL splitter,- naglagay siya ng phone splitter para makapagkabit ng 2 or more phones on the same line...

gusto ko nga sabihin na dapat kasama yung 2 extra filters kaso naunahan ako nung tao sa pldt. ayon daw sa record eh wala naman kami extension na phone. well, tama sila kaya ndi na ako nagpumilit although kasama yung sa kit na binayaran namin. yung inlaws ko kasi may extra bayad sa extension kasi nahuli sila hehehe

nway, liit naman apt namin so ok na yung isang filter para sa isang extension.

wala pa ung dsl namin. 3 to 4 days da bago ma activate. anu kaya yun working days o calendar days? sana meron na tom. bagal dial up hehehe

[wildthing]

calendar days lang yun... try mo tawagan ang service nila (171 up to 173 kung pldt)

[fourtheboys96]

tumwag na ako sa 172 kagabi pero parang puro computer generated response lang. try ko uli memeya.

Pagtiyagaan mong tawagan ng tawagan... Medyo mahirap talagang mag-follow-up sa PLDT..... Good luck sa iyong DSL connection.... Napaso na ako kasi riyan.... Masama lang talaga siguro ang aming linya....

[wildthing]

sunday at gabi.. wala nga... kaunti lang tao nila pag ganun.

[bumags]

Sirs, O.T.:

Let's say I'm using a dial up to connect to the internet, will I still be able use the phone i.e., make and receive phone calls while surfing the net?
