In most cases, Broadband (we use DSL) will not interfere with your phone calls and vice-versa. In some cases when you are using the same phone line for both Broadband Inernet and voice service, you will need to add a simple filter device between your phone and the wall jack. Blackfoot supplies four of these filters with your modem. More filters are available at a small cost.
