Word on the street says this device simply reduced interference from the
 bell wire and voice.

Various sources suggest simply disconnecting the bell wire works as well
or better.

So this plate is basically doing with a circuit, which BT engineers do
manually if they did the install and fitted a microfilter into the phone
socket when you got ADSL they effectively disconnect the bell wire for you.

I suspect that if you have extensions from the main socket you might
gain something, although these days probably easier to simply get a set
of cordless phones and lose all the phone extension cabling entirely.
