Should you use a surge protector w/ DSL and Cable?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I am checking on high-speed and looking into my options and trying to
understand how to set it up. One question is that I currently have a Belkin
Surgemaster Protector that includes cable and DSL protection. Is it a
good idea to use it? Does it impact performance in any way? Should it be
placed between the wall jack and the splitter?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I don't know if a surge protector will impact performance on DSL or cable,
but if you get a surge and aren't protected *that* could effect performance.
