No, the filter is so you don't get any noise on your phone line from the adsl signal. Usually we install a Adsl filter too and these 2wire filters are just for good measure. We only give 4 per modem unless the customer ask for more. If you put one on the line that connects to your modem your rates will be shit cause most of the signal will get distorted by the filter you will end up with rates like 300kb

This I was unaware of. I just bought a PS3 so this should be good to try out. I got myself a much better modem tho so I don't think it should be a problem for me.
Shaw is only good when there are few to no other users cause you get better speeds but during high usage your speed will drop where as Telus is a constant rate that goes to you and you alone. Really depends on what you use your internet for.
