   That kind of ADSL filter for the LTE5 is far better than the average ADSL
filter and very much recommended. As Chris says your modem should be as
close as possible to the BT Line Termination Equipment to get best results,
then extend on if neccessary using ethernet, rather than extending the
incoming phone line to the modem.
