Unfortunately not quite right Craig, Telecom doesn't even know where half
the 0+2 filters are installed!
Also the cheap install is specified as a property that has already had ADSL
installed, not as an option for do it yourselfers and my Telecom contacts (I
contract to a Telecom provisioner and dealer) have advised they will not be
nice if it's a do it yourself and they end up having to fix it.

All the troubles you say above will be looked into when you Ask for DSL to
be installed on your Line and be fixed/changed if needed. So if you are
accepted when the self-installed Filters will work perfectly well.
