Madness! You're supposed to connect it up to the phone line for best connection,

Your router/modem would have a connection to your phone line and a way for you to plug a cat 5 cable into your laptop and/or desktop.

a phone line you say, does that interfere with the phone calls tho.

There is supposed to be an ADSL filter box used between the phone connection and the router.
That divides the signal into two parts, one part containing the ADSL signal and the other containing only voice.
