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.

For short/quiet lines, it generally works fine, even with no filters.
Slightly longer, and the ADSL may cut out when a phone is picked up.
Longer than this, and it requires filters to work at all.

(some phones may not load the line in a way that they impair ADSL though)
