That's a microfilter. It splits the signal alright but it does something else very important too. It blocks the higher frequencies on the phone output and the lower ones on the DSL output to prevent interference between the two.

You can buy one most places. Maplin has one here [make sure it's RJ 11, as in the link, and not BT].

EDIT: what a tight-fisted crowd that won't even provide one considering you'll be paying through the nose for their service.

They do. Depending on what exactly you require, this, this, this, this or this may be suitable.
