Shouldn't do, I used an extension cable for mine when I first went with Tesco.
You need put the filter at the end of the extension though rather than at the phone socket for the modem to go into.

Depends, but is certainly worth a try. Just make sure you understand the filters - you need one for every device connected (except several phones coming out of one filter).0

should be OK but it can reduce your speed on faster connections esp 2MB+TANSTAAFL !0
