Hello:

Regarding those Verizon DSL filters that are supposed to be installed at
each phone jack.

No problem putting them in place, but was curious about just what they are
filtering.

Are they high pass or low pass filters ?

What gets through ?
The phone ring and the conversation I guess, but not the digital (high)
frequencies ?

What is the effect if you don't have one in place ?

If you don't put them in place your conversations will sound extra crappy.
The filters are there to filter out the modem communications - if you're not
online you won't hear the static on the line.

Think of it this way, when you pick up the receiver and someone is already
on the line - what you hear is their conversation. If your computer is
dialed in and you pick up the receiver what you hear is the computer
"talking". The filters remove the computer's conversation from the line
YOU'RE on.

They are low pass filters and block the higher frequency signals for DSL.
Take one off and you will hear a hiss on the phone. Without them the DSL
signal is weaker since some of it is going into the phone.
