DSL Line Filtering (more)

A few weeks ago I ran into some DSL problems caused by poor filtering on our phone lines. I finally got around to checking everything over the weekend and realized we only had one good filter in place. I also removed all of the old RF modulation gear (we had an old powerline phone extension that was never removed).

We're currently using a 2wire single line filter and they seem to be pretty well thought of. I've ordered a couple new 2wire filters and I need to make a run to a local electronics shop to replace all the crufty phone connections in my office (old connectors, old phone lines, too many phone lines).

The end result should be a lot less messy and I won't need to worry about our phone connections again for a while (not that I was paying any attention before).
