from the machines in case of flood, fire etc. So that might mean

I'm looking for opinions on the reliability of brands of external

You do realize that the filter goes on the voice line, not the data
line, right? I am not trying to be sarcastic - it is an easy mistake to
make.

Maybe something else is going wrong? This is just a simple low pass
filter that keeps the high frequency signal away from the phones.
At my house instead of fussing with lots of filters I just used one at

I have DSL but not ATT DSL. DSL is slower then cable, so if speed is what
you are after I'd stick with cable. Also in my case, the line noise filters
don't work very well. Qwest will do nothing about the lack of speed, line
noise or that I pay a horrendous amount for what I'm getting.

I use Verizon DSL, so I can't address the service question. As for DSL itself,
I have no complaints - fast (relative to the dial-up modem it replace) and so
far trouble-free (we've been on it for about a year).
Interference with the phone is eliminated by in-line noise filters. Though the
