Why do you need an ADSL Line Filter?

An ADSL Line Filter is required whenever you connect a computer to the internet using Broadband over a standard telephone line (non-cable).  The filters divide the signals on the telephone line between the high pitched computer modem sounds and the lower pitched human voices.

ADSL / DSL broadband enables your computer modem to share a voice telephone line, by transmitting data at high frequencies outside of the range of human hearing, thus enabling both computer and voice services to be used at the same time. Without any equipment installed between your broadband modem and telephone, the interference from the modem makes the telephone unusable as you can hear the high pitched squeal in the background. You also have to bear in mind, that unlike a standard 56K dial-up modem, a broadband modem connects to the internet as soon as you switch on your computer - as a result, the interference is noticeable as soon as you switch on the PC, even if you have not connected to your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Most broadband internet service providers send you a pack with modem and two DSL line filters to plug into the telephone sockets.  However, this is often insufficient and the quality of the filters supplied often leaves something to be desired. You need to plug an ADSL/DSL line filter into every phone socket into which you need to plug equipment other than a broadband modem (for example, a telephone, fax machine, satellite set top box, TiVO and 56K modem) - you then plug that equipment into the filter.  Your broadband modem can be connected into any of these filters at the same time.

Common Problems with Broadband Filters provided by Broadband Providers

  • Phone refuses to ring on an incoming call

  • Slight noise on the line (high pitched squeal or clicks)

  • Phone calls breaking up

  • Frequent loss of internet connection, particularly if the phone is being used

  • Caller display no longer works

  • No ring tone

Why use our filters?  

Although our filters are lower cost than those available directly from Internet Service Providers (ISPs), normally Z-Blocker filters, we are pleased to say that the filters we supply have been tested under stringent conditions, and resolve all of these problems.  They allow you to use your normal telephone line without any interference, they resolve the problem of the telephone not ringing and also ensure that you do not lose the broadband connection when someone makes a phone call !

We provide a 12 month warranty on all ADSL Broadband filters and if they do not resolve your problems, offer a full money back guarantee.

Cost Only £5.50 each.

ADSL Microfilters - essential DSL Broadband Accessories

We can also supply ADSL microfilters which have a flylead, enabling more flexibility when it comes to connecting to a phone socket (these are the type supplied by most broadband suppliers).  These are however, more expensive even though they provide exactly the same level of filtering as the cheaper alternative without the flylead.

Cost Only £12.50 each.
