Title: This is madness!
Review: While it's true that the noise level of a phone line can adversely affect the data rate you get over a modem, here are a few things to bear in mind:1) The low-quality part of the line is probably not in your house! It's somewhere between you and your CO (outside).2) You won't get garbled text or munged data from line noise on your phone line. The modem is error-correcting, and the data will be retransmitted. Line noise will cost you speed, not quality (as the manufacturer's review suggests).3) A reiteration of point (1): a line is only as good as its weakest link. Putting gold contacts on the clean part of the line won't help.But hey, they come in swank designer colors.
