The filters are ment to protect the DSL from the phone. Are you sure
you have the phone connected in the right site? I know it should not
work the other way, but I had one that did, cost me a service call. I
have cordless phone and have not noticed any problems with low volume.
Have you called the phone company, moved the cordless phone to another jack?
