Sharing telephone and modem into one jack

I carefully followed the directions that verizon gave me. Also looked it up on the internet. After everything was said and done, my internet slows down to a CRAWL. If I unplug the telephoneand filter from the jack, the internet speed returns to normal. Anyone have any clues what needs to be done. All my phones have the dsl filters and I have only one phone number. I was kept on hold for over an hour with verizon customer service then I hung up.

Re: Sharing telephone and modem into one jack

Have you tried a different splitter and/or filter on this jack ?

Re: Sharing telephone and modem into one jack

Are the filters plug into the phone jack or into the back of the telephone?

Re: Sharing telephone and modem into one jack

Filters would be between the wall jack and the Non DSL Device (Phone, Answering Machine, Fax, etc).

 

It sounded like you were using 1 jack for both the DSL Modem and a Telephone, which would require some type of spitter.  One end would go directly to the DSL Modem and the other end would have a filter between the splitter and the phone.
