depends on how u wire it m8
basically u need a filter for each socket where summat is plugged in. but if that line is already filtered at the start, then u won't need one at the end, and vice versa
if when u get an incoming call n u get dropped off the internet, then the filter locations are wrong, or u dun have enuf
heres a quick run down from my house
from the main socket, filter in (filtering from start), with a multi socket for phone n fax, a hardwired extension to upstairs, which is then split into 2 rooms, with a filter at the end of each extension (filtering at the end). so 3 used in all.
hope that makes sense
if ya get any grief, check the filters, if they are cheap n nasty n use cheap components, the filtering may not be good enuf. as for where, pretty much ne pc store, high street or online should be looking around £7 ish for a decent quality one

a little trial n error is all it takes better than paying sum engineer shedloads of moolah to sort it for ya that or get a m8 thats already done his own to sort it for ya

I think 2 will do. I'm not sure about your alarm system though.

If you have any other phone sockets then each one should have a microfilter on - or so they say. That is what i have done and mine works fine; if yours does then just leave it.
