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.
