would I need?

usual telephone stuff... the usual solution is then to put a "micro-filter"
in EVERY socket which splits off the telephone and DSL components, you just
plug your DSL modem in wherever required in one side of the filter, and all
your telephones go in the other side on all the other filters - be warned -
Sky boxes can really phuq things up - even with a filter!
You can get a special front (lower half) of the NTE5A which has a filter in
it - this then has two sockets, one for a telephone and the other (RJ11) for
a DSL modem. The extension wiring is then run from the filtered side of this
socket to all other sockets in the house and you don't need micro-filters -
this is more involved but tidier.

No you can't. You can run an extension from the RJ11 to wherever you
wish.

flexible, it depends on the installation as to whether it is an inferior
solution.
In my case for example, I had no telephone socket in the room where I wanted
the broadband router to be. So I had to run new wiring either way. I
re-routed the cable to the room where my router goes (by moving the master
socket into the spare bedroom) then had the installation done. This was an
original engineer install, but as I now have the master socket in the right
place, I don't have to use additinal filters on each phone outlet.
So it's horses for courses really, either way works fine, but personal
choice is the decider as to which is best in each situation.

I was merely correcting your erroneous statements.
