NOTE: If your DSL service provider cannot supply a DSL splitter, it is possible to purchase an outdoor DSL splitter over the Internet.

If you are a new DSL customer, your DSL service provider will probably ask you if you have more than one telephone line in your home or business, or if you are installing a phone system. If you answer yes, your DSL service provider will probably advise you that you need a splitter. In most cases, your DSL service provider will supply you with the proper splitter for your specific situation. The DSL splitter, installed properly, should help overcome any interference between the DSL signal and the signals sent by your phone system.

AT&T shall not be responsible for the cost of installation, any damages, lost business, direct or indirect expenses accrued or associated with installation, or other compatibility issues which may arise as a result of using this product while you subscribe to DSL service.
