Phone Line Filters

Quote (Wtcher @ June 25 2003, 1:03 am)Recently, somebody tried to sell me on a surge protector with a phone line filter. Apparently, it's supposed to rid connection noise and, thusly, speed connection rates. Apparently, phone lines aren't actually grounded, which would explain why dancing with lightning isn't so fun.

I also suspect that it's really a Monster Cable sort of thing in that I won't really see any concrete benefit, but I decided that it'd be nice if I actually started a discussion once in a while. ^_~

So - what do you folk think?
These aren't to reduce connection noise, they are to ground phonelines, to help protect against surges coming through your phone.
