We don't use the phone jack for DSL. You can get DSL Direct from BellSouth, which does not require a phone line. I've got the DSL Extreme which is 3 mbps. I've been pleased with it.
I messed up in my original post about the phone jack & the satellite receiver (sorry! Going from memory of what my hubby & son hooked up.) You can get an Ethernet cable to hook up your satellite receiver (works on newer receivers, not older ones) to a router. You then make changes via your menu on DirecTV to tell it to connect through a router, not a phone line. We've not had any problems with it. Hope this helps!
