I don't want to do the rewiring required to put a splitter at the demarcation point, but we don't have DSL micro filters available here. Can I use two splitters as filters for the modem and the phone?
@Edit:
I think the Wikipedia article clearly answers this question:
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.
2After some reading on the topic I think that in my situation (I have 1 phone in one room and the modem is in another room) it should suffice to use a splitter to separate the phone from the line and for the modem no filtering is required, because, as far as I understand from what I've filtering is only done for the phone so a splitter is just one filter for the done and the DSL output on splitters is not filtered in any way. – axk – 2010-04-30T14:23:45.970
