sbiddle: They are actually a surge arrester from the old days with manual exchanges and are pretty much redundant these days. I believe they may also cause some performance hits with ADSL as well but somebody a bit more knowledgeable maybe able to confirm this.
D33ZZ: ...is it normal for sync speeds to drop when phone is plugged in as I get much better syncs without the phone plugged in.
D33ZZ: Hi yes external filter (Dlink) sync rates raise when phone is unplugged vs lower syncs with phone plugged into the filter.
