Re: Fix for ugly DSL filter hanging in middle of wall?
Those guys are experts. Their specialty is network component selection, component placement, and wiring. No job too big or too small. Their portfolio is quite extensive which explains the slow to load web site.
I still laugh when I look at the site. I wish that they had some new material there though.
I know these guys can help with the OP's problem. |

It is entirely possible that the promotion code in my previous reply is only for the AT&T Southeast region (formally BellSouth) and will not work in the other AT&T regions.
In the AT&T Southeast region if someone orders brand new FastAccess DSL service from AT&T Southeast then their self-install filter kit would not have came with a Wall Mount Filter, but it should have came with an insert providing instructions to order one FREE from AT&T. They quit sending Wall Mount Filters with the kits awhile back because they are very rarely used and it was a waste of money to send them out if most people don't need one. If someone has recently ordered FastAccess DSL service from AT&T Southeast and did not receive an insert providing instructions to obtain a Wall Mount Filter then they can call AT&T up and AT&T ought send them one free of charge.
I'm not exactly sure how things happen in the other AT&T regions.
If you have had DSL service for a long time and have just lost your Wall Mount Filter then you need to order one.
You can order one from the AT&T Store for $6.00 with $4.50 Shipping and Handling.
You can also order one from the manufacturer, but not really for less money. They do have a greater variety with more configuration options though.

Yes, the wall mount filter seems like the best option. I looked in a few more places, and it seems to be lost. Yes I would like one!

said by nwrickert :Best solution is to install a whole house filter (POTS filter, NID filter), and run a separate unfiltered line direct from the NID to your modem. This what I did 5 years ago, used red/green for voice and yellow/black for dsl(or on newer wiring blue/white for voice and whatever for dsl) and got a wall plate with 2 phone jacks, works great, have a 2 story house 4 phones (1 a 3 handset wireless) and never a problem. |

Just plug the filter into the phone, then the phone line wire into it and to the wall jack. Not too hard of a fix. |

This is silly. Those filters are a dime a dozen. I've got one sitting in a box that I'm never going to use. PM me a shipping address and I'll drop it in a USPS priority padded envelope.

My sister had this same issue. I just took the face plate off the wall jack and shoved the filter with a little bit of line in the box and put the face plate back on. Of course I made the wires look good but to this day its still like that. |

Second the motion to install a filter at the NID. I did that when DSL was installed and now have exactly one other filter working, the filter on the computer line at my desk for the phone there. |
