	In most homes there is a box or junction just inside where the Bell line enters your location. This is called the ''demarcation point''. All the wiring inside the demarcation point, along with any associated problems, are owned by the building owner. All wiring from the demarcation point going to the outside world are owned by Bell and are their responsibility to repair. Usually there is one line going into the demarcation point from Bell's outside lines and then one wire coming out of the demarcation point which connects to all the phone jacks in your house.

	* The modem probably ends up in the basement ceiling and thus is not easily accessible. This means that you won't be easily able to see the lights when working on your computer.

	Instead of putting a DSL line filter on each device attached to your phone line at your location (except your DSL modem, of course), you could put one line filter at your demarcation point for your whole house.
