You can convert your home telephone cable plug or phone-line jack to a DSL line with a DSL filter. A DSL filter plugs into a wall phone jack. The DSL filter removes static and white noise or hiss that can slow down your DSL modem or prevent it from connecting to the Internet. The noise and static is caused by electronic devices that are plugged into your phone lines. These devices include phones, fax machines, answering machines, Satellite TV dialers, dial-up modems, meter readers, Caller ID and internal security or fire alarm systems. Writer Bio
