If you have a Broadband line
If you connect your telephone to a line with a broadband connection, you will need to insert a micro-filter between
the telephone and the telephone line, otherwise you may get interference between the
telephone and the broadband, which could cause problems. In a home with broadband, every telephone
must have a micro-filter connected, not just the one at the telephone point that your modem is connected to. If
you need more broadband micro-filters, contact your broadband supplier.
