I can tell you those are NOT ADSL2 compatible, and will screw your ADSL2 connection. Can't say for this DSE one but I expect it's not Telstra certified compliant either.
For an inline filter I would recommend the C10 C10245M commonly sold under the Jackson brand.
The ADSL2 signal could be slightly degraded if you use a non-compliant ADSL filter. You might get a couple Mbps more from a better filter. A 10-20% increase is not bad for a simply changing the filter. But in my experience, changing from an ADSL filter does not guarantee any improvement; a speed test showed 0% improvement for my connection after buying a $16 certified ADSL 2+ filter from Jaycar — upgrading the filter isn't guaranteed to help.
I've seen a report that suggests that C10 was not as good as some others. www.warcom.com.au Additionally, the C10245 is not compliant, so definitely look for C10245M if going that route.
Speed isn't a consideration here. The $1 and non-ADSL2 compliant filters will cause your service to dropout frequently and static crackling on your phone lines because they are simply inadequate. Warcom apparently did speed tests but they did not consider reliability.
