Any know where I can get some DSL filters in Mississauga, preferably on the cheaper side? I don't really care about detachable cord doohickeys if that factors into the price.

I've heard that if you go into a Bell store and say you need some filters they'll give them to you, they're supposed to be for Sympatico customers but they generally don't ask. If you wish to obtain them somewhat more legitimately I'm not sure where in Mississauga, I'll leave that to someone else.

I saw some in Candian Tire, but they were overpriced, $9.95 each.

This is correct. Just go intoa Bell World store and ask for some DSL filters.

This is true. I got four free filters from Bell World and even went as far to mention that I'm not a Sympatico customer. Was told it didn't matter. They are free-of-charge.

We keep them around when customers cancel and bring back their shit. So we just strip everything out of the packaging to send the modem and AC adapter back.

Keep filters and ethernet for people who need it for free.

If the OP is switching from Bell to TSI he can just keep the filters (and cables, splitters, etc.) that originally came with his DSL modem.

I have cancelled several Sympatico accounts recently. In each case I returned only the modem and AC power brick without any pushback from Bell.

Yes; however, many customers defect to cable, so they bring everything back to my store.

Go to a Bell store and say the guy on sympatico support told you to come and pick them up. I got 8 of them for free.

Bell might as well provide us with some service.

Cheers!

yes, that's what I did, walk into a bell store and ask for some filters, they'll give you a handful for free, this was a much better option than paying the 19.99$ that the Source store next to it wanted for one filter..

Thanks. I'll give Bell World a try. I'm switching from Rogers to TekSavvy once I move, by the way.
