What is a microfilter / splitter and why do I need one?

A microfilter is a small device that plugs into your normal telephone socket and splits the line into both a standard telephone socket and a ADSL broadband socket.
You must have one microfilter connected to each telephone socket on the line the ADSL service is enabled for even if you will not connect the ADSL modem / router at that point. The microfilter must be the first device plugged into the telephone socket. Failure to have a microfilter correctly installed on every socket may result in interference (buzzing noises etc.) on your telephone and / or reduced performance and possible loss of service on your broadband access.
If you have a burglar alarm that uses the telephone line it is important not to forget this needs to be connected through a microfilter. We also strongly recommend that you check the correct operation of your burglar alarm after installation of a broadband service on your telephone line.

Do I still need to pay Movistar for the monthly telephone line rental?

Yes. The broadband service uses your normal Movistar analogue exchange line to provide the Adsl high speed Internet access so you do still need to pay Movistar for the line rental and any normal calls on that line.

Can I have a static IP address?

Yes, you can setup a static IP address once your broadband has been activated. The monthly cost for this service is approximately 15 euros.
