Mine just gone bad. It smells like burning wire, and hot too.
Check out the Wise Geek website for an explanation. Link is below: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-dsl-and-adsl.htm
they supposedly reduce/prevent interference on your telephone caused by the dsl connection
place filters (splitters) on the line everywhere that an analog phone is used
No they don't, Gas Mask filters are designed not to go bad despite if the lid is unscrewed off, unscrewing the lid of a gas mask filter doesn't have any effect on the gas mask or it's filters.
Regular telephone conversations use the lower section of the lines frequency range. depending on the company, voice is carried between 25hz and 3500hz. The DSL signal is carried from 10000hz to approx 3.5mhz, the 10000hz part is in the audible range, so without a filter you will hear a hiss or static on the telephone when you try to use it. Not only is this annoying but it interferes with the signal and will make your DSL go slower. Filters are very important.
You install a splitter and filter at the phone line nearest the dsl router.Then you check to make sure it's working.If it is you proceed to install filters at all the other phones.
Does a DSL connection need to go through my telephone company?
No,there are no flavored water filters available,this filters out the bad chemicals in the water.
