Filter Vs splitter

A splitter is preferred over a filter. Having a splitter has been known to increase your bandwidth a little because the filters add line length. And extra line length on an already long line can be detrimental.

So... A Filter can be used either on every phone jack, or inside the NID? A Filter inside the NID will act upon all subsequent phone jacks in the house? A Splitter inside the NID will act upon all subsequent phone jacks in the house? So installing either in the NID would require you to punch down a second set of phone wires throughout the house (one for the computer and one for the telephone) AND split the TELCO drop into two?
