I am not sure how to explain this without a picture, but the data cable that is connected to my phone seems to have 3 ends to it....One to the phone itself, and 2 other plugs.
I know one of the 2 goes into the wall jack, but where does the other one go..?
And is it ok to leave the other one unplugged..?
Does that create any problems if I use a DSL filter with that 1 plug not used?
Also, I think these "plugs" I am calling them are actually called RJ11's so is it normal for a phone cable to have 3 of these rj11's
I can't take a picture, here is a picture I drew:

will this cause problems with my connection? I have a low SN margin on my downstream (5 to 6), and a bad downstream sync rate..
