DSL causing static on phone line

If you are experiencing static on the phone line only when the DSL modem is turned on, the most likely cause is a DSL filtering issue. 

All phones must have DSL filters connected.  Also any satellite television or security systems that use a phone line connection must be filtered.  If all phones have filters, each phone should be unplugged one at a time from the wall jacks to test if any of the filters are bad.  If static persists, D&E Tech Support will have to be contacted.
