My brother has his PC connected with a DSL connection. I have my PC connected using dial-up. Both are connected to the same phone jack outlet using a splitter. When both connections are online at the same time, does it affect bandwidth on the DSL connection and also my dial-up connection? Your responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks.


 
No should not effect. You should talk your bouther it to a router and share that DSL.
 
Your dialup modem signal and your DSL signal are different frequencies so one should have no bearing on the other. And I agree with allteltec. You should look into a router to share your DSL connection...assuming you and your brother are on good terms that is.
 
you can buy a 802.11b wireless router for about $35 these days .
