Do you need to have line filters?

Ok before you all freak and say yes this is on a naked DSL line with no phone attached. The phone is all VOIP and attached to the modem. The reason I ask is that I have an older filter in line so probably only ADSL rated. So before I toddle off to DSE or Jaycar is one required if there is no voice component to be interfered with?

No. You do not need a filter - in fact you're probably better off without one if the only equipment on the line is the modem.

An ADSL filter with 3 connectors (line, phone and modem) does not effect the signal passing from 'line' to 'modem', i.e. the ADSL signals pass straight through.
The filter serves no purpose if nothing is connected to the 'phone' connector.

As mattski has stated if you have nothing else on your line and it is just the modem then you do not require a filter.

Yes. You attach a filter to every phone or fax device and leave your ADSL modem's connection unfiltered or connected through the ADSL port of a splitter.

One of the tests I use to check my NADSL line is to plug in a hand set. If I get an engaged tone then my line is OK, so I look elsewhere for my problem. If the phone is dead then there is a faulty line. If one of the 2 wires in the phone line is broken, the phone won't work but the modem will still work but unreliable (drop outs).

Regards

"Naked" means that the dial tone is completely removed from your phone line and you don't have to pay anybody (Telstra, Optus, Exetel, etc) line rental. The normal process when migrating to Naked ADSL is for your dial tone to be removed about 2 days after your ADSL has been provisioned. If this has not happened for you, you may wish to raise it in a support ticket or double check that you are, in fact, on a Naked (NonPhone) plan and not a bundled (IncPhone) plan.

Hello,

Just to reiterate what has been said - No, you do not require a filter as the intended purposes of a filter is reduce the distortion in order for voice over PSTN to be audible.

Hi Guys,
This seems a bit confusing. I am on Naked ADSL2. Normal phone can no longer be used. But there are telephones conected to my modem for VOIP. Do I have to do away with my line filter?

Generally telephones connected to a Voip Modem/ATA don't need line (noise)filters and your modem connected to Naked ADSL2 does not need a line filter
