    I'm no expert, but I THINK this is the story:

    I THINK Eircom supply u with the filters - if they dont, u can buy them form Dabs for about £5.

    As far as I know, ADSL just uses standard phone cable - so a phone extention cable from Eircom Store/Woodies should do.

    I'll be doing my self-install in the next few weeks... when I can spare the cash!


    I stand to be corrected.....

    The dark side do indeed supply you with filters. You need these filters if you share your line with voice/fax. If you don't, then you can plug your modem in en-direct and it should sync.

    The splitters are Excelsus-Tech 230T's (the cheap ones). You can order them from the US. I think the ones from the UK will have that "stoopid I've got mongo-thumbs so the connector is really big" connectors and you'll need a converter doobey.

    If you share the line with any other equipment, then you'll need the splitter. The role of the splitter is to separate the DSL stream from the noise/clutter of the other equipment.

    Bizmark,

    Netsource will supply you with two microfilters included in their connection fee.

    This applied to both engineer and self install.

    Do you just need the splitter/microfilter for the socket you use the dsl modem with or is it for the sockets used by the phone/fax?
