Filters are only a couple of quid, though, so why not get a bunch of

And have them hanging out the sockets? No thanks.

Hi,

It might all work without the filters, they're only there to stop the
phone loading the line at ADSL frequencies.

ADSL is pretty robust, it's not affected by line capacitance and often
still works if one wire of the pair is open circuit.

cheers,
Pete.
