      A typical broadband installation


      You've sent me my 'All-in-one connection pack', which includes filters. What do I do with the filters?

      Install a filter with each telephone you have in your home, to do this disconnect each telephone from the wall socket, plug a filter into the socket and then re-cconnect the phone cable into the filter socket.

      Filters will need to be installed for other devices connected to your phone line including answering machines, fax machines, conventional modems (used with another computer at home) and digital satellite TV receivers with a built-in modem

      You'll find more help with this in the article how to set up broadband filters

      How many filters do I need and where can I get more if required?

      The filters allow the broadband modem and phone services to run simultaneously so in order to avoid any interruptions to your phone service a filter is needed for every phone socket you use, for any device, such as a phone, answer machine or fax machine.

      The modem connection pack comes with two filters. You can buy extra filters online here.
