$10 DSL up and running

[GGD]

A single DSL splitter is the way to go if possible. When I first got DSL back in 1999, PacBell (before it became SBC and then AT&T) used to send someone out to do the installation which included a very rugged DSL splitter installed by the demarcation box with a separate line to the DSL modem, and no per-jack filters needed. This was also back when they were new to all of this internet stuff, and were also giving out a single Static IP address as part of the basic DSL package. They eventually figured out that this was limiting how quickly they could get customers signed up, and came out with the per jack filters, PPPoE and self install kits.

I kept that IP and splitter setup until I moved and was too far for DSL, but I still have that splitter, and plan to use it if they ever offer DSL at my new location.

This is similar to what they installed.
