Will my ADSL connection interfere with my phone service?

A: No, ADSL will not interfere with your phone service; you are able to use both simultaneously. Regular voice conversations use less than one percent of a telephone line’s capacity. ADSL technology uses the remaining 99 percent to transmit information 50 to 150 times faster than a conventional 28.8 Kbps modem. ADSL technology takes advantage of the unused capacity by dividing a copper telephone line into hundreds of segments, each of which is large enough to carry one telephone call.
