You need to install phone line filters on every phone within the house.

so there has to be a filter on every single phone line except for the line running to the computer? If so where can i get more because we have more than the amount they sent.

You can actually simplify your DSL installation, and make it better to boot.

Purchase a DSL splitter and install it at the telco service entrance. Run a direct line from the DSL port on the splitter directly to the DSL modem. Connect all of the other phone instruments to the telephone output of the DSL splitter.

This is as good as it gets for DSL installations, and will usually solve in-house wiring issues.
